Question
When importing a License file using lmadmin GUI, the following error occurs:
lmadmin Error :Missing executable for demo vendor
How can we resolve the issue?
Answer
There are couple of ways to fix this:
Please stop lmadmin and the vendor daemon. ?
- Remove License File from lmadmin Installed folder. The License should be under Vendor Name Folder.
Modify License File so that you can provide full path to the Vendor Daemon something like this:
SERVER this_host ANY
VENDOR demo demo (The first demo is vendor Daemon name and second one is the full path.?
The above is good for Linux if demo is in same location where lmadmin executable exists.
If not then
VENDOR demo /full path to demo_executable /demo?
And for Windows it will be like ?
VENDOR demo "C:\my full path to Vendor DaemonExecutable\demo.exe"
Modify, save and re-import license file and overwrite. - Go to Vendor Configuration page, and give full path including executable name.
- Save and start Vendor Daemon.
