Ben,
What probably happened is that the license server on your laptop -- I
now why have a license server for one machine with a node locked
license -- has stopped. This usually happens when you change the
network you are connected to without restarting the Mac. The solution
is to enter the following two command line commands using the
terminal.
sudo SystemStarter stop IDL_LMGRD
sudo SystemStarter start IDL_LMGRD
You will have to enter an administrator password after you type the
first command. The first command may fail if the license server is
completely dead. The second command will start the license server and
you can then start IDL.
This particular idiosyncrasy has been bugging me for months. I finally
spent about 3 hours trying to find the simple way to restart the
server without re-booting the mac.
