Title:

Managing a BLM on a Laptop or Mobile Device Where Networks Often Change

Description:

The BLM ceases to accept the users’ licenses when the user changes networks. I.e., installed the license at work and now using the product at home. Macintosh systems will actually change hostnames as the system joins or leaves networks. 

Resolution:

Configure the pointer file (basis.lic) to use 127.0.0.1 instead of a hostname: 

SERVER hostname ANY <to> SERVER 127.0.0.1 ANY
