Licensing error -43 (Bad hostname LF/port@host)

Symptoms

We are using a network license. When BricsCAD tries to connect to the server it reports Bad hostname LF/port@host (error code -43).

Cause

The hostname in the license file is not valid.

Solution

Try the following:

  • Check the name of the server and try again.
  • Go to the webinterface of the licensemanager and perform a Reread/restart.
  • Activate using the IP address of the server instead of its name in the required field from Bricsys License Manager dialog.
