|

cineFilmMaster v2.5.0 is not correctly picking up the cineSpace environment variables. This means that cineFilmMaster may indicate that it can't find a valid license (displays a blue screen), even though you have correctly configured both the RSR_APP_DIR and RSR_LICENSE variables. The problem has been noted and will be rectified in the next software update. In the meantime, however, there is a simple work-around that will enable you to get up and running.
To solve this problem, please configure the LM_LICENSE_FILE environment variable to be the same as your RSR_LICENSE variable, e.g.
To set this:
- Open the System Control Panel in Windows. This can be done by selecting Start -> Control Panel -> System.
- Select the Advanced tab.
- Click on the Environment Variables button.
- Inspect the System Variables list, and see whether LM_LICENSE_FILE exists.
If it does not exist:
- Under Systems Variables, click the New button.
- For the Variable Name, enter LM_LICENSE_FILE
- For the Variable Value, enter the location of your FLEXlm Server, e.g. 27000@company.com
- Click OK, and then OK again.
If it does exist:
- Click on the name LM_LICENSE_FILE
- Click the Edit button.
- Append the location of your FLEXlm Server seperated using a semi-colon, e.g. OtherVariables;27000@company.com
- Click Ok, and then OK again.
- Click OK to complete the process.
Please note, for Windows 2000 series, you will need to reboot the machine for the changes to take affect.
For those of you wondering why your installation may be working, even though you have not set the above variable, this is due to FLEXlm's caching abilities. Whenever FLEXlm correctly finds a server, it will cache this server value in your registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\FLEXlm License Manager |
