Licensing

Following a recent review of license management solutions, for Oasys 17.0 we have decided to switch from Flexera’s FlexNet Publisher (more commonly known as “FLEXlm”) to X-Formation’s LM-X platform.

Our review found LM-X to offer comparable functionality and features to other solutions available and provides an increased level of license security in networked scenarios often utilised on high-performance computing networks.

LM-X is a well-known provider of licensing solutions and it is likely that many Oasys Ltd customers already have an LM-X license service running for other CAE tools.

The Oasys Suite 17.0 software requires a new LM-X license file which will be provided by Oasys Ltd or your Oasys distributor. If you are using a floating license server you will need to install the LM-X license server software. This can be done as part of the Oasys Suite 17.0 installation.

The Oasys Suite 17.0 LM-X license file and LM-X license daemons are backwards compatible with both the 16.x and 15.x software releases. This means that any existing 16.x and 15.x software will continue to work with new LM-X license files and servers.

We recommend that you update all your Oasys Suite license servers with the files shipped with the Oasys Suite 17.0 software, and request a new LM-X license from Oasys Ltd or your Oasys distributor.
