Licensing woes [message #68387]

Hi All,

I successfully installed and licensed IDL 7.1 on a MacBook Pro (OSX
10.5.8). Things have been fine until today. Now, woof.

It began with one of the FlexLM -15XXX error messages after starting
IDL from the command line. AFter some noodling around with lmstat,
lmdown and lmgrd_install, I decided to simply run the license manager
wizard again. It complained that I didn't have permission to modify /
Library/StartupItems. So, I made that read/write and successfully ran
the License Wizard again. IDL started and hi-ho, hi-ho its off to
work I go.

Until... about 30 minutes later I started to get messages that
communication with the license server was interrupted for the last X
minutes. After a number of these I got the message: "LICENSE MANAGER:
Session terminated due to server failure. Consult your network
manager" and IDL closed.

Now when I try to start IDL I get the following...

Minke:~ ben$ idl
IDL Version 7.1, Mac OS X (darwin x86_64 m64). (c) 2009, ITT Visual
Information Solutions
% LICENSE MANAGER: The desired vendor daemon is down.
Check the lmgrd log file, or try lmreread.
Feature: idl
Vendor:Host: Minke.local
License path: /Applications/itt/idl71//../license/license.dat:/
Application
s/itt/license/*.lic:
FLEXnet Licensing error:-97,121

Yikes! An error code in the 90s - I'm in deep now!

lmreread seems to non existent on my machine (not in my home directory
and not in $ITT_DIR/idl/bin) and the only log file I could find
($ITT_DIR/license/lmgrd_log.txt) is empty.

Is this just poor little ol' me or does this happen to other OSX
users? Any help greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Ben
