SUMMARY
=======
 
When you try to launch SOFTIMAGE 3D, the following error message appears:
 
   LM_BADCOMM   "Invalid returned data from license server [-12,...]"
 
This indicates the following problems:
 
 - You have a Client setup (FLEXlm is running on a different machine) and
   when you installed TCP/IP, you did not include your machine's IP
   addresses.
 
 - You selected DHCP, but do not have a DHCP server.
 
 - The server has two different names, and your LM_LICENSE_FILE references
   the wrong one. For example, the SERVER line in the license is IRIS but
   the machine is also known as INDY and your environment variable is
   744@INDY. Change it to 744@IRIS.
