8.4 Working with versions older than SCIA Engineer 2010.0

This is only possible if you have FlexNET version 2.3.5 or lower.

With the “SCIA_Software.lic” file, the users can work with SCIA Engineer 2010.1 and newer. But if the users prefer to work also with older versionsof SCIA Engineer or with Esa Prima Win, the old dat-file should be copied to the folder of the “SCIA_Software.lic” file, by default:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\SCIA\LicenceServer\FlexnetServer\scia

Afterwards the dat-file should be adapted and the first 2 rows should be changed into:

Change “MYSERVER” in the name of the server.

Don’t change the FLEXID number (this depends on the number of your dongle)

Remove the port number at the end of the first row

Change the second line into: VENDOR SCIA scia/scia

And refer to this datfile in lmadmin (instead of: “scia\SCIA_Software.lic”). This can be done in the FlexNET Licence Administrator. To do this, follow the next steps:

1. Start the internet browser and navigate to http://serveraddress:8080 (e.g. http://localhost:8080)
2. Click on [Administration] and sign in (for the first login use "admin" for username and password)
3. Go to "Vendor daemon configuration" and click [Administer].
4. And refer here to the Licence file or Directory, not to te lic-file, but to the dat-file:

With those adaptations it is possible to work with older versions of SCIA Engineer and with the new versions as well.
