6.69 FAQ-915 Why do I see "license daemon: system error code: No such file or directory" error when starting the FLEXlm license server on Linux?

No-Such-File-or-Directory-Err-Linux-Concurrent

Last Update: 4/23/2023

If you fail to start the Origin license server in a Linux OS and get the following error message in the lmgrd log file

(lmgrd) license daemon: system error code: No such file or directory

Or get the following information in the lmstat output

Vendor daemon status (on server_name):
orglab: The desired vendor daemon is down (-97,121)

It is because the lmgrd daemon could not find the orglab daemon.

To resolve this problem,

Please first check if orglab.exe file exists or not. If the orglab daemon does not exist or is damaged, please download it from our website.
Make sure orglab.exe has execution permission. If not, you can execute a chmod 755 on orglab.exe and then relaunch lmgrd.exe.

Make sure your server machine has required libraries installed to run 32-bit binaries. You can install them like below:

sudo apt update
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
sudo apt update
sudo apt install libc6:i386 libstdc++6:i386 libncurses5:i386 zlib1g:i386
sudo ln -s /lib/i386-linux-gnu/ld-linux.so.2 ld-lsb.so.3

If above checkings are passed but the problem still happens, please try following:
1. Stop the FLEXLm service if already started.
2. Edit the license file to make the following change
```
VENDOR orglab <full path to orglab daemon binary>
```
  For example,
```
VENDOR orglab /opt/OriginLicenseServer
```
3. Restart FLEXlm service
