DRs/ERs Addressed in This Release

This release addresses the following DRs/ERs:

  • Fewer DENIED messages in the license server’s debug log (DR 1361235) — When a checkout failed, prior releases logged a DENIED message twice in the license server’s debug log. The license server now logs only a single DENIED message.

  • Licensing may use fewer system resources (DR 1349588) — Licensing for some products now consumes fewer file descriptors, potentially leading to higher capacity for license servers in high-use environments such as grids.

  • Updated error message (DR 1338004) — The FlexNet error message “License server system does not support this version of this feature” that appeared in the “Licensing Note!” dialog and MGLS_DEBUG_LOG_DIR output now reads “This application requested version exact_access_version or newer of the license feature feature_name, which is newer than what is in your license file. Please visit Support Center at https://account.mentor.com/licenses for an updated license file.”

  • pcls_ok.exe no longer uses Exact Access versions that are off by one month (DR 1366604 / DR 1359087) — Sometimes pcls_ok.exe had an off-by-one error in the month portion of the Exact Access version. This issue occurred in the checkout and the MGLS_DEBUG_LOG_DIR output and is now fixed.

  • New pkgmap utility (ER 1280285) — PCLS includes a new utility, pkgmap, that displays Mentor feature information for a specified product. For more information, see the “Utilities for Licensing” appendix in the v2019_1 Mentor Standard Licensing Manual.
