Issue & Reason
The slow startup is likely due to communication problems between the Thermo Scientific software client application and the server.
Suggested Solution
Here are some steps you can take:
- Start by checking the time elapsed to verify a FlexNet license. On the client machine, add the environment variable VSG_LICENSE_DEBUG.
- Set VSG_LICENSE_DEBUG to a file name (ensure it is set to a writable path) and start the client application.
- Licensing debug output will be written to the specified file when the client application is launched.
- Verify the DNS search path is correctly set up.
- Check the route packets traced from the server to the client and from the client to the server using:
- traceroute (Linux/Mac)
- tcproute.exe (Windows).
