FlexLM licencing failure when running as a child of Java application
843829Apr 30 2006 — edited Oct 7 2007At the company I'm working for, we have implemented scheduling system that is Java based running on Solaris 8 box. One of the processes it is supposed to schedule (using Runtime.getRuntime.exec) is a process using FlexLM license key. When running under Java jre 1.4 or higher it can't retrieve a license key from FlexLM server (using udp device). Investigation revealed that FlexLM license key acquisition is successful if running under Java jre 1.2. Does anyone have any clue with respect of what jre 1.4 might be doing differently from jre 1.2 executing child processes through Runtime exec method? Your help is highly appreciated.
