GIS Users,
One slight boot-strapping issue here, if the Desktop Administrator can't =
get
the license manager, then it won't open up so you can't change the =
license
manager by entering the IP. Seems like a bit of a design flaw...
But, we have a work-around. Use NotePad to edit your OS Hosts file =
(found in
the OS directory under windows\system32\drivers\etc). Put the following =
into
the hosts file.
199.73.169.31 esrilic
199.73.169.31 arcsde
199.73.169.31 epic31
Use a tab to separate the IP address from the name. Save the hosts file =
and
you should be back in business for the license manager, DataMiner, etc. =
You
will need administrative access to your machine to make this edit of the =
OS.
Sorry for the hassle.
