Appendix D FLEXlm Error Codes

D.1 Error Message Format

FLEXlm error messages presented by applications have the following components

• FLEXlm Error Number - a negative number starting with -1
• FLEXlm Error Text - short sentence (< 80 characters) summarizing problem.
• FLEXlm Error Explanation (optional) - short paragraph (3-5 lines) explaining problem and possible solutions or workarounds.
• FLEXlm Minor Error Number, a positive number starting with 1. These numbers are unique error identifiers, and are used by FLEXlm-license ISVs for more advanced support assistance. Their meaning is not documented.
• System error code (optional) - This is a Unix or Windows OS error code last set by the operating system.
• System error code explanation (optional) - A short sentence (< 80 characters) explaining the system error code.
• Other supporting information (optional)

Error messages were improved in v6. FLEXlm error explanation, and supporting information are only available in v6.

These error messages may occur in two formats available with FLEXlm, or may appear in a format customized by the application:

D.1.1 Format 1 (short):

 FLEXlm error text (-lm_errno, minor_num[:sys_errno]) [sys error text]

The system error information may be missing.

Example:

Can't connect to license server (-15,12:61) Connection refused

D.1.2 Format 2 (long - new in v6):

FLEXlm error text
 FLEXlm error explanation
[Optional Supporting information]
FLEXlm error: -lm_errno, minor_num[, sys_errno] [`system error text']

Example:

Cannot connect to license server
 The server (lmgrd) has not been started yet, or
 the wrong port@host or license file is being used, or the
 port or hostname in the license file has been changed.
Feature:       f1
Server name:   localhost
License path: @localhost:license.dat:./*.lic
FLEXlm error:  -15,12.  System Error: 61 `Connection refused'

D.2 Error Code Descriptions

Errors marked with an * indicates errors which should not appear in shipping software. These are errors intended to help the programmer incorporate FLEXlm in their product, and should be fixed before shipping.

Errors marked with + indicate errors due to an operating system failure.
