flexlm spoof mac
I Had always wanted to have a "portable centralised license server"
that i coud take with me and install in a different machine if i wanted .
I manage to accomplish just that.
I got a USB drive .Now they are as big a 250M .Enough to contain
Modelsim,Symplicity...and others And all the Flexlm tools
The second move was to get a USB->Ethernet adaptor .I got one not very expensive .Then i generated all the licenses for all the soft that i use(A LOT) based on the mac for that ethernet adaptor. Some floating and some Fixed
I finally made a cap for the Ethernet connector (Transmitter lines go the receiver) And Voila I have my own personal dongle.
Now i can move it from one computer to another along with the soft
If i need software more space i can always get another USB drive..
I also used a tiny USB HUB to connect the USB drive and the ethernet adaptor..
All that now is required in the computers is the LM_LICENSE_FILE = to point to whatever the USB drive is mapped to.
My next step is to get another USB-> Ethernet adaptor and see if i can clone the mac adress .So i can make several dongles
