6 Networking Quick Start and Troubleshooting
Cause Solution
The key code was A server code generated by the AdLM
obtained prior Admin program prior to TCP/IP setup
setting up TCP/IP. will be invalid. Key codes generated
with invalid server codes will also be
invalid. Regenerate the server code
after TCP/IP configuration and obtain a
new key code.
The "@" symbol If the license server hostname is
prefix limits the prefixed with an @ symbol (for
license server example: @paradise), combustionwill
search. only poll that license server for a
license. You can specify a list of hosts
names, each prefixed with @ and
separated with a semicolon, to create
an exclusive group from which a
workstation can pull licenses. For
example, if ACADSERVER is set to @
paradise; @island; @birdcage,
combustion will only be able to pull
licenses from the AdLM servers running
on paradise, island, or birdcage even if
there are other AdLM servers running
on the same subnet.
The AdLM If all licenses authorized on an AdLM
server(s) is(are) server are in use, it will not allow
out of licenses. additional workstations to start
combustion. You can use AdLM Query
or AdLM Report to view license
utilization on AdLM servers.
A license resource To check if a license resource file is in
file may be use for a particular AdLM server,
preventing a double-click the AdLM icon in Windows
workstation or Control Panel and click the Settings
user from button. If a license resource file is in use,
obtaining license the file name and path will be listed in
access. the Settings dialog box.
Network routers Routers must be configured to route or
are not bridge IP packets and pass UDP/TCP
configured for port data. AdLM uses UDP and TCP port
TCP/IP. number 1422. If routers are configured
to route IP packets, the ACADSERVER
environment variable setting is
required on workstations residing on
the remote side of the router.

Cause Solution
The TCP/IP If routers are used, their TCP/IP
gateway is not set. addresses must be entered as a
gateway on the IP Address tab in the
Microsoft Control Panel TCP/IP Setup
dialog box on all workstations, file
servers, and AdLM servers. If you cannot
ping any systems on the remote side of
a router, it is an indication that the
router has not been entered as a
gateway.
The server code AdLM authorization codes are tied to
has changed. the server code that is displayed when
you run AdLM Admin. You must
generate the server code on the
machine that is the license server as the
code will be unique to each machine.
Hardware or network changes can
cause the server code to change on a
machine. If a new network card is
installed or the system board is
changed, check the server code for
change. Updating the hostname or IP
address of an AdLM server can also
cause the server code to change. If the
Server code changes, you must obtain a
new network authorization code from
the Autodesk Registration and
Authorization office, based on the new
server code.
