Flexlnet 11.5 target

[rcer]

I am trying to reverse a target which uses flexnet 11.5 licensing scheme.
I have recovered the correct encryption seeds, and have build lmcrypt for SIGN=12 character licenses. Licenses can be checked out with the lmtools utility, but when I try to run the program I receive the following error
"invalid FLEXLM license file syntax"

An older version of this application used SIGN=16 character licenses, so maybe I get above error because I am generating 12 character licenses.

Does anybody know how to build lmcrypt for SIGN=16 character licenses?

rcer, upload your target... And you need to add this string "-longkey", if you want SIGN with 16 characters..

[Git]

Or in the sign area of the template license, put a 0 for each digit of SIGN that you want.

Example :
FEATURE fname3 vendorna 2.000 permanent 0 000000000000 TS_OK ck=0
gives 12 digit sign. 0000000000000000 would give 16 digit

may be use -verfmt 5

[nikkapedd]

-verfmt prints in old format and prints errors when
is newer than specified.

Here a full example...
usage: lmcrypt [-i infile] [-o outfile] [-e errfile] [-longkey]
        [licenses ...] [-r] [-verfmt ver] [-decimal] [-maxlen n] [-help]
   [-r]     Print copyright notice.
   [-help]  Display usage information.
   If no input file, or if specified as - or stdin, stdin is used.
   If no output file, or if specified as - or stdout, stdout is used.
   If no error file, or if specified as - or stderr, stderr is used.
   licenses are read and written back in place.
   If no arguments, reads stdin and writes stdout.

   -verfmt prints in old format and prints errors when
   is newer than specified. Version formats are 2-5, 5.1, 6, 7 and 7.1

[-longkey]-->> it makes 16 characters in the standard lic and 16 in the SIGN

Git, if you write [-longkey] in the script, and SIGN="0" in the template, the crypter write 16 characters, without filling with zeros the SIGN like this--> SIGN=0000000000000000

I'm aware of that nik, but prefer to do it the other way.

Hi @rcer

upload your target, I can review and comment

Thanks, for this tip, and I tried the 16 Char license, but still get the same error message.

Upload the full target, or the daemon only? and upload to where? ( have no access to the ftp anymore)

start from the deamon file on rghost.net

O.K.
have sent you guys a PM with the link & pwd

>FEATURE fname3 vendorna 2.000 permanent 0 000000000000 TS_OK ck=0

add HOSTID=ANY e.g. to your template

otherwise if you want floating license then
add this

SERVER this_host locking port
DAEMON vendorna

and change FEATURE fname3 vendorna 2.000 permanent 0 000000000000 TS_OK ck=0
to
FEATURE fname3 vendorna 2.000 permanent 100 000000000000 TS_OK ck=0

[rcer]

ketan,

vendor is callmd not vendorna,

I managed to solve the issue, the problem was that the target does not accept:

- HOSTID=ANY
- Permanent
- features with expiry dates beyond 2 years from current date

Program now runs fine with SIGN=12 license

>vendor is callmd not vendorna,

Ah, sorry. It was Git' template, not yours.

As for client-side checks in 95% of cases you have to find lc_auth_data and trace the code that analyses config* returned. Sometimes the API to begin with is lc_get_config/lc_next_config. And a number of LM_*FILTER* hooks set with lc_set_attr are usual suspects also :-)

PS: never met SIGN=16digits in the wild, it's either 12 or CRO. Though technically it could be 16/20 also.

[Git]

'vendorna' was made up from almost random letters that my fingers fell on, sorry

ketan, the standard license can be 20 digits, but the standard SIGN can be only max 16 digits.. except the long ECC SIGN and SIGN2
