From the release of Oasys 17.0 we have switched our licensing from Flexera’s FLEXlm to X-Formation’s LM-X platform. Anyone using Oasys 17.0 will have been able to use either FLEXlm OR LM-X. From the release of Oasys 18.0 (due March 2021), users will only be able to use LM-X.
Action to take
Oasys Suite 17.0 and 18.0 require a new LM-X license file. If you are using a floating license server you will need to install the LM-X license server software. This can be done as part of the Oasys Suite installation.
The Oasys Suite 17.0 and 18.0 LM-X license file and LM-X license daemons are backwards compatible with both the 16.x and 15.x software releases. This means that any existing 16.x and 15.x software will continue to work with new LM-X license files and servers.
We recommend that you update all your Oasys Suite license servers with the files shipped with the Oasys Suite 17.0 or 18.0 software, and request a new LM-X license from Oasys Ltd or your Oasys distributor (click here for contact details).
Background
Our review of license management solutions found LM-X to offer comparable functionality and features to other solutions available and provides an increased level of license security in networked scenarios often utilised on high-performance computing networks.
LM-X is a well-known provider of licensing solutions and it is likely that many Oasys Ltd customers already have an LM-X license service running for other CAE tools.
