FlexSim 17.0.0 release notes say:
*Upgraded the licensing system to Flexnet Publisher 2016 R1 (11.14).
I currently have FlexNet Publisher 2014 R1 installed. I've done some testing with a 1-seat 17.0 LAN license:
Does that mean that upgrading to FlexNet Publisher 2016 R1 will be an absolute requirement to use a LAN license with FlexSim 17.0 ?
In order for server licensing to work correctly with 17.0, existing license servers will need to be updated with the latest vendor daemon (flexsim.exe and flexsim_libFNP.dll) from https://www.flexsim.com/ftp/LicenseServer/LicenseServer.zip
The flexsim.exe and flexsim_libFNP.dll are in: LicenseServer.zip\License Manager\licenses\flexsim
Also, the Flexnet Licensing Service will need to be updated on the server by running FlexSim ServerActUtil as an Administrator and then executing the menu option Tools > Licensing Service > Install anchor service.
This is explained in detailed step-by-step instructions in https://www.flexsim.com/ftp/LicenseServer/FlexSimLicenseServer_Upgrade.pdf
If you try to check out a license with the 17.0 software from a license server with an older version of the vendor daemon, the vendor daemon log shows the license features being checked out and then immediately checked in one at a time.
Also, if a license server that is using a USB dongle shows the error message “Can’t get hostid of type 15,” then they need to install the new dongle dlls on the license server. See LicenseServer.zip\License Manager\advanced\dongleFiles\FLEXID9_README.txt
