License Request Failure

[josephlordy]

Hi,

I recently had a health check done on my PC, and since then
when I load ProEngineer it comes up with a Warning License
Request Failure - Invalid Host (See attached image). The
software does not load.

I am using Wildfire 4, I don't use the software often and I
am not on support...so can anyone help as we have legacy
data on ProE.

FlexLM uses the MAC adress of the network card which is in the registry under HKLM\Microsoft\WindowsNT\CurrentVersion\NetworkCards in first position. The sort order of the folders is alpha numeric, which means 10 comes before 2. Windows will load the driver only if the card is connected to a network.

You can change the order by renaming the folders.

If you use a portable network card the order may change. Look for a MediaSense patch in the registry to force Windows to load the driver even if the card is not connected to a network.
