Problem:
How can i see exactly what is happening with the license request from AutoPIPE to the Bentley hosted server?
Another words, when AutoPIPE starts, the program should send a request for a license to License Management Tool (LMT) from LMT the request is sent to Bentely's Hosted Server. The server is checked for an available license and then the signal is sent back to LMT and then back to AutoPIPE providing the requested license. How can I see where any communication problems exist?
Solution:
There is a feature in LMT that provide license tracing. Perform these steps:
1. Close AutoPIPE.

AutoPIPE V8i 09.06.01.xx and higher: select File> License Configuration>
AutoPIPE V8i 09.06.00.xx and lower: select Tools> Settings> Edition>

7. Wait for the program to get the license from the hosted server or until the application reverts to Demo mode.
8. Now close AutoPIPE, and restart LMT.
