License does not work when computer is disconnected from the Network
|
Windows 2000/XP Media Sensing Feature If the computer is disconnected from the network (no "link") and the "Media Sensing" is enabled, the TCP/IP system will be shut down. Unfortunately, FLEXlm (the licensing software that Fluent Inc uses, relies on TCP/IP for its communication, therefore, the license will not check out. To prevent your network adapter from detecting the link state: Manually make the following changes to the Windows Registry. 1.Click on the Start button, Run 2.Type: Regedt32 3.Browse to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESystemCurrentControlSetServicesTcpipParameters 4.Add the following registry value: Value Name: DisableDHCPMediaSense Data Type: REG_DWORD -Boolean Value Data Range: 0, 1 (False, True) Default: 0 (False) Description: This parameter controls DHCP Media Sense behavior. If you set this value data to 1, DHCP, and even non-DHCP, clients ignore Media Sense events from the interface. By default, Media Sense events trigger the DHCP client to take an action, such as attempting to obtain a lease (when a connect event occurs), or invalidating the interface and routes (when a disconnect event occurs). 5.Restart your computer after you have made the necessary changes. Note: You must have Administrative privileges in order to change the Windows Registry. Note: There are some side effects of disabling the "Media Sensing" feature.
