So i brought my tower to campus to have solidworks installed. They did and said i had to log on to the solidworks tunnel on putty to run it. So i get it home and log in to putty and try to run it and it says "Could not obtain a license for SolidWorks"
I heard something like you have to be on the ncsu network, but it seems like they would tell you that.
If anyone knows anything that would be helpful let me know. 2/7/2009 6:28:19 PM |

you probably need access to the license server which is firewalled within the campus network 2/7/2009 7:22:25 PM |

isnt the ssh tunnel supposed to take care of that?
regardless, just use vcl.ncsu.edu 2/7/2009 7:33:38 PM |

im not sure if its the case now but a while ago they used to have a limited number of licenses and you couldn't use it if x amount of people were already 2/7/2009 8:22:01 PM |

I know the license server for solidworks was down yesterday. I dunno if its working today (I dont use it so have no way of verifying it).
If you are having issues still, please come back to a HelpDesk and we can get you sorted out. 2/7/2009 8:50:51 PM |

a. grammar nazi b. VCL is not too slow, your internet connection is.2/7/2009 9:02:21 PM |

^ agree with point B totally
VCL is a server cluster, running really bad-ass machines. Your network connection sucks if you say it sucks.

I would fully expect it to look and respond like shit over anything other than ResNet. It's 3D CAD for fucks sake. Pull your head out of your ass and return to the help desk immediately. 2/7/2009 11:07:33 PM |

^ true
the bad-ass-edness of the machines has very little to do with anything when you're streaming 3D across a network. 2/7/2009 11:43:09 PM |
dustm All American 14296 Posts user info edit post |
streaming what?
solidworks runs on your machine, not over the net. the only thing you need the internet for is the license for the program to run

VCL, what they were suggesting as an alternative, is remote desktop. Several people disagreed with Cmurda when he said that remote desktop is too slow for 3D CAD, insinuating that his connection sucked. I personally can see where Cmurda would be coming from with that and found the tone of those insinuations offensive, so I responded in kind 2/8/2009 12:24:06 AM |

Apparently it doesn't work on VCL either. Perhaps the campus's licensing server is down? Maybe they're shit out of licenses, but "The desired vendor daemon is down. (-97, 121, 0)" doesn't make me think so. SysNews only reports:

Looking at some stuff, the license server is still down. Itll probably be fixed tomorrow at the earliest. with out that server, you aint getting it to work anywhere, your computer, VCL, or the campus labs.

Unfortunately, the checks in place to monitor these services were inadequate to determine whether the services were working correctly. They were running and responding to clients, but they were not serving licenses.
They are now serving out licenses correctly. Sorry for any inconvenience this caused.

Can anyone tell me how to slipstream SW SP5 into an original SW 2008 install iso? Apparently Vista 64bit is not supported on the regular Solidworks 2008, only in SP 3+ i think. Or is there an actual 64bit version of solidworks? 08/09? 2/17/2009 3:29:16 PM |

I want solidworks on my computer. Guess i'll try to find the 64 bit copy, or attempt to slipstream it. 2/17/2009 5:01:21 PM |

I have Solidworks installed on my computer, the NCSU version where you have to log on thru putty first. Every night at 11:00pm, SolidWorks attempts to load and I then it tries to send this email to SolidWorks. Any ideas on how to keep this from happening. The only way to end the process is to restart the computer.
