EN: Determining a FlexNet ID for VM

For Windows:

  1. Copy these files to the virtual machine:
    * lmutil.exe https://technia.sharefile.com/public/share/web-s990d7a56c13a418ea7fc6d54b91750a3 
    * installanchorservice.exe with FNP_Act_Installer.dll https://technia.sharefile.com/public/share/web-s01f3fbdfffb547ad884a0d39c7f2f15d

  2. Open the command prompt (cmd.exe) as Administrator and enter the command to install the license anchor service:
    installanchorservice.exe Technia any
    The output looks something like this:
    Success code 2003: There was no service on the system so the new one was installed.
    or
    Success code 2001: The currently installed service is older than the new service so it has been upgraded.

    The installed service also appears as “FlexNet Licensing Service” in the list of local services on the computer.

  3. At the command prompt, enter the command to determine the VM UUID of the virtual machine:
    lmutil.exe lmhostid -ptype VM -uuid

    The output should look something like this:
    lmutil -Copyright (c) 1989-2017 Flexera Software LLC. All Rights Reserved.
    The FlexNet host ID of this machine is “VM_UUID=AF964D56-46E1-3D8C-EC52-DC1A9E6C4BA6”

    In the above example, the VM_UUID of the virtual machine is AF964D56-46E1-3D8C-EC52-DC1A9E6C4BA6.
    Note: For AWS EC2 virtual hardware the format of VM_UUID is different, e.g. i-02189219daf49e0e3

  4. Copy the UUID and keep it until you have requested the license file.
    Tip: To copy text from the command prompt, right-click the window and choose “Mark” from the context menu. Use the mouse to mark the required text, then press [ENTER] to copy the text to the clipboard.




    Steps 5 and 6 are only needed if FlexNet version 11.14.x or older is used

  5. At the command prompt, enter the command to determine the VM Generation ID (GenID) of the virtual machine:
    lmutil.exe lmhostid -ptype VM -genid

    The output should look something like this:
    lmutil -Copyright (c) 1989-2017 Flexera Software LLC. All Rights Reserved.
    The FlexNet host ID of this machine is “VM_GENID=34d819f19cd864eb:552bb757c053b841”

    In the example above, the VM GenID of the virtual machine is 34d819f19cd864eb:552bb757c053b841.

  6. Copy the GenID and keep it until you have requested the license file.
    Tip: To copy text from the command prompt, right-click the window and choose “Mark” from the context menu. Use the mouse to mark the required text, then press [ENTER] to copy the text to the clipboard.
