I often run into difficulties with the license manager, usually
because it is looking for the license in the wrong place. This can
result from other software that uses the same manager (like the PGI
compilers), or having multiple servers to choose from.
Right now I encountered one such problem, where every time I start IDL
it fails to find the license, because it looks for it in the wrong
server (which I recognize from an older setup), apparently ignoring
the value of the LM_LICENSE_FILE variable.
I have searched everywhere I could think of, and could not find where
that wrong server is specified, so that I can replace it. It is not in
LM_LICENSE_FILE (which has the new server), and it is not anywhere in
the IDL instalation directory or in ~/.idl (at least not in plain
text; I was searching with grep for the host name).
Can anyone suggest where to look for the license server name?
