KA-01271 / Manage Floating Licenses: Versions Prior to 2020.3 for Amira, Avizo, and Pergeos Software

Views:

Prerequisites

To perform the following steps, ensure you have downloaded the latest version of the FlexNet server tools:

 

Process

To manage licenses for historic versions, follow these steps:

1. Extract the downloaded package.

2. Install FlexNet Publisher license service. Administrator rights are required.

  • Open a command prompt/terminal in the directory where you extracted the FlexNet server tools archive, then navigate to the FlexNetLicenseServerTools subdirectory.
  • Run the following command:
     
    • For Windows: installanchorservice mcslmd mcslmd-applications
    • For Linux and macOS: sh install_fnp.sh

  • Add the current directory to your library path. Replace <PathToFlexNetLicenseServerToolsDirectory> with the actual path to the FlexNetLicenseServerTools directory:
     
    • Linux (bash): export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<PathToFlexNetLicenseServerToolsDirectory>:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
    • Linux (csh): setenv LD_LIBRARY_PATH <PathToFlexNetLicenseServerToolsDirectory>:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
    • macOS (bash): export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=<PathToFlexNetLicenseServerToolsDirectory>:$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH
    • macOS (csh): setenv DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH <PathToFlexNetLicenseServerToolsDirectory>:$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH

3. Install the Visual C++ 2015-2022 Redistributable Package (Windows only).

If this component is missing, you may encounter the error “The program can’t start because MSVCR120.dll is missing from your computer” when executing the ServerFNOODActivation tool. If a newer version of the Visual C++ Redistributable is already installed, an error message may appear. You can safely ignore this and proceed.

4. On Linux or macOS, ensure that the /usr/local folder has write permissions. This is required for license activation, deactivation, and upgrades.

 

Run the ServerFNOODActivation tool with the -v option to check the status of your historic server licenses at any time.
