problem running IDEAS NX 10m3 in windows xp 2

[feadude]

I just installed ideas nx 10 and then ideas 10m1 and ideas 10ms (ideas 10m2 is supposed to be included in ideas 10m3) as upgrades. I get the following message:

internal security error : -97
you can not connect to the IDEAS flexlm lock server. please review your license file and resource locking configuration.

Can anybody please help?
thank you

Are you running a license cut specifically for your Server, ie. the top line of your license file includes your Server's HostID or are you running a demo license where the HostID "ANY" is in the top line of the license file.

The latter won't permit you to cut a takehome license.

It's unlikely that secDB.dat is corrupt if I-DEAS is running correctly.

I finally got a hostid and IDEAS is runnig. Thank u for ur help.
What is the expiration date for a take home license? Is it perpetual or 12 month?
When I entered the take home license password somewhere it gave me a date for expiration of password for 03/05 . Is this true? Do I need to get another take home password in 12 month even if I do not go to new release in over a year. The original IDEAS maintenance we pay it once a year but the original license is for ever even if we do not get the hot line and maintenance?
thank you
