I have the exact same problem as johnxyx.

I did everything and everything has worked so far and I've been working on this for three hours now.

"I have followed the instructions as best as I could.
I was able to get the license manager to work (I think). It let me stop start and reread the license.
However when I install the program it will not let me select my computer it says that it is not a valid license server. "

I changed everything asked for and I don't see where I went wrong and if someone could just tell me what I need to change I would be very thankful.

@awsedge: Try to start from Step 1 again and tell me where you stop and get an error.

Hi!

I've been following your instructions but I still not manage to Reread the licence in Licence Manager Tools. I have even started over the entire process twice! The only thing that is a bit different is when I create the .log file. I open Notepad, write ".LOG" (enter) and save it as "flexlm". It saves as a .txt but it logs...is this wrong?

Or do you have other suggestions to what my problem might be?

Best Regards

i've followed all the steps to the letter and just cant start server. Is this just not compatible with windows 7 x64?

Can someone say exacly how to 'Create a file called ‘flexIm.log’ in C:\Program Files\ESRI\License\arcgis9x' ??

Don't bother downloading this if you're using Windows 7 64 bit. It simple DOES NOT WORK.

Can u make the v10 available. i need it for a project please

Please help!

In Save Service, the message shown

"Failed to change FLEXlm License Server. You need to be an Administrator to perform this function."

What should I do now?

Hi guys, I followed the install instructions but when I tried to check the Server Diagnostics I saw the following error message: "This license cannot be checked out because: The desired vendor daemon is down" and in the error log, it says: "The Sentinel SuperPro hardware key has not been installed on this system, or has been removed."

I've gone to safenet-inc and downloaded and installed the updated Sentinal Hardware Key Driver, so I'm not sure what's going on.

I've also tried following Shnoky's (you are awesome!) instructions, but when I go to the Server Status tab and click Perform Status Inquiry, I see this: "ARCGIS: The desired vendor daemon is down
1) Check the lmgrd log file, or 2) Try lmreread"

Mercy! T_T Please help? My email is nessule at hotmail dot ca. CA, not COM. Thank youuuu! :D

Ok, nevermind, ignore my last comment. IT WORKED!! I followed SKUPPYQ's instructions TO THE LETTER and ArcGIS Desktop now works fine. I can't believe I have it!! THANK YOU SO MUCH k2_cult, and THANK YOU SKUPPYQ FOR THE INSTRUCTIONS!!! Omgomgomg. THANK YOUUUUU ;A;

Message for Maserman - Please Help
You put a message as shown below.
I have Vista.
How do you do this procedure ????

For the Vista/7 64bit users - keep in mind that you have to change the ESRIFloat.reg file from:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREESRILicense]
to
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREWow6432NodeESRILicense] because ArcGis 9.2 is a 32 bit application and under 64bit OS it has to be emulated.

How do I do this procedure ?????

If you have Windows 7, for all the instructions, do you use the x86 directory???? and never the regular program files directory??


I can't get this work and none of the three work: start, stop, and reread. I am using Windows 7 64 bit on a fairly new computer. I am suspecting that is why. I followed the directions to the T, and even Fantana man's Windows 7 instructions. I also edited the registry line as Mason said for Windows 7 users. The error message I get is:

--------
Status
--------
Flexible License Manager status on Mon 7/2/2012 00:18

[Detecting lmgrd processes...]
License server status: @Gilly-HP
License file(s) on Gilly-HP: C:flexlmlicense.dat:

lmgrd is not running: Cannot connect to license server system.
The license server manager (lmgrd) has not been started yet,
the wrong [email protected] or license file is being used, or the
port or hostname in the license file has been changed.
Server name: Gilly-HP
License path: @Gilly-HP
FLEXnet Licensing error:-15,570
For further information, refer to the FLEXnet Licensing End User Guide,

Can anyone please help me get this running on Windows 7? I'll even consider providing a donation. email: [email protected]

@shreddy

right click the ESRIfloat file that came in this torrent, click edit, and paste mason's windows 7 registry line

After one unsuccessful try, in the second try it worked installing it and most importantly to make the license file to be recognized. You have just to follow EXACTLY the instructions of skuppyq along with the additions of fantanaman.
By the way: after you follow all the instructions, reboot your machine before you open the program for the first time.

Next issue is the 3D Analyst and all other tools/extensions. You have to choose in the installation of ArcGIS the COMPLETE installation and not default.
Then you have to enable the extensions from the appropriate menu(i don't remember how it was called).
Well even when i did these, still 3D Analyst didn't work. I then disabled it again(removing it from enabled extensions) and then enabled it again and then it worked. I don't know if i was lucky or something but finally everything are running perfectly!

I still have an issue with ArcGlobe that doesn't start but i have seen others with non-pirated versions that have the same problem. It's a matter of an issue of Arcglobe with multiple core PCs.
You have to enable only 1 core for your PC, reboot, run Arcglobe(supposedly then it runs fine), close it, and then put again the normal number of cores your PC has, reboot the PC and all will be fine now.
Well not for me, but i can live without Arcglobe.

So all in all this ArcGIS 9.2 works perfectly! ArcMap(Arcinfo), ArcCatalog(Arcinfo), Arcscene(Arcinfo), Arctoolbox(Arcinfo) with all the extensions work absolutely fine.
Of course with the exception of Arcglobe as i've said, that i don't know if it's because of the multiple cores issue of the program(which is what i suspect) or an issue of the pirated version.

I have bought the ArcGIS 10 and it has many issues/bugs that after months of dealing with ESRI support i haven't been able to solve, so i needed an alternative. So thanks for that.

I'm also showing the "The desired vendor daemon is down (-97,121)" window when trying to browse for my license manager during the setup.

I have made sure all the flexlm files and folders are all the same and that the firewall is off.

Is there anything else I can try and do to fix this ?

With terror i noticed, that most features of ArcGIS are expiring 1st of January 2013, and complete version of this ARC GIS is expiring 1st February 2013...
When I open ArcMap a notification is shown first"16 days to expire, 15 days to expire" and so on...
Please tell us a tip to continue using ARCGIS after the expiring date...My whole work is based on it! S.O.S!
Thanks in advance!

I get the same "Desired vendor daemon is down" when I try to enter my hostname, despite the Server seems to be working properly.

Hello everyone,

I have download and installed everything and all went well i think, but when i try to open ArcCatalog or ArcMap, i get a message that the Lincese had expired.

When i tried to run lincese update, i get a message that says: ArcInfo Hardware Key not plugged in this computer.

I have intalled Sentinell protection installer only, maybe its not enough or its the wrong one.

anyone with a solution, please hit me up at: [email protected]

thanx
