Q13. WINDOWS/PC Related Questions


Q13.1 What Platforms does the PC Run on?

Flex LM supports the following platforms:

Networking is required only for floating/concurrent use licenses

Q13.2 What is WINSOCKX.DLL

Winsockx.dll is a dll provided by Globetrotter that is used by 16 bit applications to interface between Flexlm and other networking software provided by networking ISV's. It allows nodelocked applications to not require networking software. It also interfaces between winsock.dll for TCP/IP, and the Novell dll's that provide IPX/SPX on 16 bit operating systems.

Q13.3 Will the Server run on Windows 95/98?

Since v6+, it is possible to run the Flexlm Server (LMGRD.exe and vendor.exe) in a window. This is not as good of a solution as a NT where it can be run as a service. Further testing will be undertaken to verify its operation, but there is no reason not to test the server on a Windows 95/98 system.

Q13.4 How do I start the Server in Windows?

You can start lmgrd.exe in 2 places.

Q13.5 Can the Server automatically startup when I power-up my PC?

Yes, you can use "FLEXlm License Manager" icon in the Control Panel to startup the Server at power-up. For Windows check on "Start Server at Power-Up". On NT also check on "NT Services".
