is there a way to test NIVLM using a dummy license file?

[ruud habets]

we are testing a situation where an autocad install (Flexlm) crashes a nicely running VLM install. we wan to test this on another server using a dummy license file. just to keep away from the Live environment. Can this be done?

Hi Ruud,

We don't have dummy license files. If you contact our local branch, we will find a solution for this.

What ports are both NILM and autocad?

Maybe this link helps.

Thanks Bas, I will do that...

By the way:

Autocad ports are directed to 27002 while NI ports are directed to the default 27000. the "funny" thing is, that after installing autocod NI licensing does not work. then after re-installing nivlm, VLM and autocad work, using the flexlm tool. users still get the message that they are not licensed, but the flexlm lm tool notes the logged on user. the nivlm tool on the other hand does not know the user has klogged on. That could be explained by the fact that in the nivlm tool de licenseserver cannot be started using the Start License Server Button.
