Hi,
I have recently installed max 2023.
Win 10, all updated, RC 5.2.2, FP 7.4.1
We are using network licenses. RC and FP can't find a license few times a day. It is getting really dumb. Sometimes i have opened few instances of 3ds max. In 3 of them i can use Itoo and it can see the liecese, but other two (the same max, the same machine, no virtual machines) says that there is no free license.
I have to start and stop this license manager every time that occures on any machine.
Best,
Mike

Hi,
When a license is assigned to a workstation, additional Max instances in the same computer use the same license. So theorically this issue should not happen.
Please try enabling the debug mode in the License Server (https://forum.itoosoft.com/faq/enabling-debug-mode-in-the-license-server/), and send us (https://forum.itoosoft.com/faq/how-to-send-a-file-to-itoo-software/) the log file (License Server->Server Tab->View log). You also can find the log at C:\ProgramData\Itoo Software\licserv.log.
If possible, take note of the date/time, and the IP of your workstation when it happens, to find the related entries in the log.
Thanks,

Thats odd:

Those licenses out of support are active and payed for the next year...
But still we are using those 4 licenses at the same time most of the day
I deleted and reactivated those licenses.
I will check if the problem still occurs. But beeing able to use RC in one and not the other one max is strange.
-
Probably those licenses were not updated with the renewal code you received by e-mail. This step is needed to update the maintenance end date.
It can be fixed also reinstalling the license, as you did.
But as you pointed out, that doesn't explain why a license which is assigned and working in a Max instance, doesn't work in other instances.
We'll do some tests with multiple instances, to be sure there is not some hidden problem.
P.D. I edited your post, to hide the serial numbers.

Hi,
Thank yopu for hiding my SN.
I have an update: One the workstations after turning on from hibernation does not see out lan for few seconds. In this time i get this in my log:

192.168.1.42 is an IP of the workstation in question.
The is a max scene opened since yesterday on this PC. In that max there was an FP object and we were able to place an another one, but we cant place a new RC Object.
After opening new max we can't place new RC or FP. We have to restart the machine or the license manager service on the other PC.
Best,
Mike

The client exceptions shown in the log (error 10060 and 10054), just indicate a disconnection with the client.
It would happen if workstation goes offline, is suspended or there was some network issue.
Regarding the 'Update lease' errors, i guess are caused by the hibernation.
Once a license is assigned, the workstation must update it with the server periodically (every several minutes). If not, the server assumes the workstation is offline, and releases the license.
In this case, it seems the workstation tried to update their licenses, which were already released by the server.
I'm afraid our licensing system doesn't handle well this specific case, and it may be necessary to restart Max to assign a new license. We'll do some tests, and will try to improve it.
-
restarting Max does not affect this issue. I must restart the machine or thr license server.

now i get error:

Please, enable the debug mode (https://forum.itoosoft.com/faq/enabling-debug-mode-in-the-license-server/) in the License Server, restart it, keep it working for some time, and send the full log (C:\ProgramData\Itoo Software\licserv.log) to our support team (https://www.itoosoft.com/contact).
Thanks,
