Hi folkz. I got a node-locked license for my target but locked to some other machine . It looks a bit wierd:
---------------
PACKAGE xxx yyyyyyyy 1.00 0572CE9A500D COMPONENTS=".... ..... ..... \
... ...." OPTIONS=SUITE
FEATURE xxx yyyyyyyy 1.00 07-apr-2004 uncounted CF180AABFD1C \
HOSTID=00b0d02b8b20
------------------------

(xxx=package name, yyyyyyyy=vendor name, ....=features)
In both lines (FEATURE and PACKAGE) there's no SIGN= at the end. Instead a 12-digit number occurs. Is this the signature? Could I use instead this format the one below?

--------------
PACKAGE xxx yyyyyyyy 1.00 0572CE9A500D COMPONENTS=".... ..... ..... \
... ...." OPTIONS=SUITE
FEATURE xxx yyyyyyyy 1.00 07-apr-2004 uncounted \
HOSTID=00b0d02b8b20 SIGN=CF180AABFD1C
-----------------

I searched in the flexLm SDK manual - I failed. Genlic generates only licenses with SIGN=.... at the end, but they don't work. So I can't judge, whether I have bad encryption seeds, or the problem is in the license format. Thnx for any suggestions.

If the original license is without SIGN that means application is using old style license key (LM_STRENGTH_LICENSE_KEY set for LM_STRENGTH) eg. Pre-v7.1. NB:Application usually complains if SIGN is requested but missing from license file.

Without error code returned it is hard to tell what is problem. And "RTFM more carefully" could help in this case
