Hallo to all

I have 2 diffrent tragets from one vendor - first one runs on a PC - second one on IRIX ( first one uses 6.0, second 6.1 ). I'v got encryption seeds, vendor keys and vendor name from target 1, have built lmcrypt on a PC, and made license for IRIX target 2. It worked. Now i have flexlm SDK for IRIX and just for fun tried to build lmcrypt
with the same seeds and vendor keys. Builds fine, but when i run lmcrypt i get error message :

lc_init failed: FLEXlm platform not enabled
FLEXlm error: -48,52

As far as i understand from reading esseys and comments in flexlm SDK, this has something to do with vendor keys 2 & 3 - info about platfom. Also it is noted in lmrecode by Nolan Blender. My question is -
is it possible to change platform and if yes - how ?

Thanks in advance

When you license FLEXlm from Globetrotter, you
are licensed for certain platforms, and your
vendor keys are only valid for those platforms.
The vendor keys have encoded in them a set of
bit fields which turn on various features/enable
specific platforms, and if the bit for the
platform you are trying to run on is not set,
then FLEXlm will refuse to run.
If you have the encryption seeds, and want to
run on any platform, use lmkg or it's equivalent to
generate new keys, and all will be well.

If you look on Crackz' site, you should be
able to find most anything which you need
to do this.
