Hi All

I got a demo license for one of the softwares protected by flexlm 6.1, I saw something unusual in the feature names, this particular software used special charaters like $, /, \ in the feature name, as shown below

FEATURE my$feature ..........
FEATURE my/feature ..........

I was able to extract the vendor seeds and generate license for features which did not contain the special charaters, but when I tried for my$feature, I got error message saying that special charaters are not allowed in feature name.

Can anyone let me know, how to generate license with special characters in feature name.

thanks

I think that it may still generate correct
keys even though it gives you a warning - try
-verfmt 4 to lmcrypt maybe. I can't remember
if that does it or not, but some Sun stuff
does this.

Hi nblender

Thanks for your reply, I was able to generate license after making the lmcrypt.c not to report warnings when there is feature name related errors.
