You can now import a valid license.
Some products do not show the FlexNET popup when there is no license available, but a license warning popup comparable to the one below.
To make sure these programs can find the license server we need to create a license file that routes the program to the license server. Create a textfile in the installation directory of the program and add the following text.
SERVER this_host ANY
VENDOR marinlmd
USE_SERVER <portnumber>@<license server name>
Replace <portnumber> by the portnumber used on your license server and <license server name> with the name of your license server.
Then rename the textfile to link.lic. Now the product should be able to find it's license on the server.
