      CATIA V5 network licenses use IBM LUM (License Use Manager). By default, CATIA V5 uses the following file to find the LUM server. C:Documents and SettingsAll UsersApplication DataIBMLUMi4ls.ini Since CADNEXUS/Capri also starts the CATIA V5 CAD program, it follows that the existence of this file affects the operation of CADNEXUS/Capri. It is possible to override the default location by creating a Windows Environment variable, and specifying a different locaation for the file: Example: IFOR_CONFIG=server_namefilesi4ls.ini” This solution may be useful for users who have CATIA installed on a shared network drive. Also see Solution 818614 for testing connectivity between CADNEXUS/Capri and CATIA V5 CAD program.
