Licensing Info

Avizo caches license server information locally in the file \~/.config/FEI/Avizo.conf. Check the contents of this file if you are getting license errors when starting Avizo, or if Avizo hangs for a long time when starting. The file should contain the following:

[General]
LICENSE_SERVER=lmavizotoken.msi.umn.edu:1716
LICENSE_STATUS=2

If your file does not match the above, you can repoint Avizo to the up-to-date license server by opening the Avizo graphical user interface and entering \'lmavizotoken.msi.umn.edu:1716\' (without the quotes) at:

Help -> License Manager -> FNP license server

and click \'Activate\'.
