- I realize that NETLS is getting a lot of bad press, but
- I have yet to hear anyone not have troubles with it.

- We have had a similiar problem. We haven't had too many
- "accidental kills", but it seems that the first time anyone
- tries to issue CVD in a particuliar day, CVD is unable to contact
- the license server. So, I simply go in as root and issue a:
-
- /etc/init.d/netls start
-
- It always replys that the license server is already running,
- but a re-issue of CVD starts up just fine!
-
- For those of you who have yet to find out the hard way, there
- is a bug in CaseVision/Workshop 1.1 (CW1.1) which will not
- allow you to run with both NETLS licensed S/W and NodeLocked
- licensed software. Evidently, the licensing hooks in CW1.1,
- upon startup, go out to check on how the license is to be passed
- out and upon seeing a file called nodelock, shuts down.
- I should add that this is only for NETLS licensed CW1.1.
- Thus, to fix, there is version CaseVision/Workshop 1.1.1 which
- can be obtained from the hot-line upon request. I have installed
- this, and this particular problem went away.
-
- Getting a permanent licence from SGI's licensing dept. is
- another long story...
