What can cause the Softimage License Server daemon to stop?

The vendor daemon will be stopped if the network configuration IP Address

used is not of a valid class. Private or test classes may cause the vendor

daemon to automatically stop. This prevents Avid|DS RP from validating the

license text on the Avid|DS workstation. Verify with your system

administrator or Internet service provider that your network address is valid.

Example: Although 10.10.10.01 is valid for a private workgroup of computers, the

Softimage License Server will reject this IP Address and shut down the daemon.

# This is a sample HOSTS file used by Microsoft TCP/IP for Windows NT.

# This file contains the mappings of IP addresses to host names. Each

# entry should be kept on an individual line. The IP address should

# be placed in the first column followed by the corresponding host name.

# The IP address and the host name should be separated by at least one

# space.

# Additionally, comments (such as these) may be inserted on individual

# lines or following the machine name denoted by a '#' symbol.

# For example:

# 102.54.94.97 rhino.acme.com # source server

# 38.25.63.10 x.acme.com # x client host

127.0.0.1 localhost

You can be more specific by including a domain if the system is on

one. For example:

100.100.100.10 rpstation.dsland.com
