installing unigraphics NX6 Licensing server on SME?
« on: August 25, 2008, 07:59:23 PM »
Hello,

For a customer I installed last year (may 2007) SME 7.1.3 which still runs. At the moment I don't know the state that it is in e.g. updates etc. Now this customer has the question whether it is possible to install a licencing server for NX 6 (Unigraphics CAD Software).

This is 64 bit software which does run on SUSE 9 SP3 / SUSE 10 SP1.

SME 7 is a far as I know 32 bit SW. The HW is a DELL 64-bit server with lots of disk space and RAM.

Questions:

    * What are the options get the SW to run on SME 7 (7.1)?
    * Upgrade to 7.3?
    * What are the alternatives?
          o I can think of installing VMWare/SUSE 10 but does that run 64-bit / 64-bit apps?
          o Other?

I hope somebody can/will help me out.If you need more information please ask,

Grtz Pieter

And they don't have a 32 bit version?

Wouldn't make any difference.

I once installed FlexLM on a Linux box to serve licenses for a CAD application that did not support Linux. You just have get the Linux install for FlexLM to point the FlexLM application to the license file.

Hope this helps.
