X Server Messages

LICENSE Messages

LICENSE messages pertain to use of the license management software.

If you need to call NCD Technical Support for a problem related to the LICENSE module, make sure you have the output from the lmgrd daemon containing messages sent to the log file. The error log file is specified when starting the license server. For more information, see the NCDware System Administrator's Guide for UNIX Systems. NCD Technical Support needs the information contained in the log file to assist in diagnosing problems.

For messages that refer to the LICENSE module but do not appear here, refer to "Messages Common to All Modules". Additional information about FLEXlm messages is contained in the FLEXlm End User Manual.
