Installing Ideas12 NX in Windows-7 OS 2

[NEO5044]

Hello Fellas,
got a problem here, we are moving to Windows-7 OS; I tried to install IdeasNX 12 which went smoothly, but when I tried to create an FEA model I got a FLEXlm error. I attached a snapshot that shows the pop-up windows that I had to through and the final error message which was;

"Internal security erroe: -97
FLEXlm error: The desired vendor daemon is down
Feature: DFLEXLM RL
Vendor Host: tx4r5.tz.xyz.com
License path: 7612@tx4r5.tz.xyz.com
FLEXlm errom: -97, 121"

can someone help please? would also like to know your experience installing IdeasNX 12 in Vindows-7 OS.

Thanks & Best Regards

Run the FlexNet code on a XP machine.

We had many issues doing this. I do not think it is supported. Anything Orbix related we had issues with. Exporting 3d files of a step and normal Iges files would not work. We also had trouble exporting out DWG files out of master drafting. For the FEA I did not try anything when we had our Windows 7 test machine running. You need to upgrade to at least I-Deas NX5 or I-Deas NX6 I think which supports windows 7.
