Starting a debugging session with Flexlm lmgrd and a vendor specific daemon

I'm a complete newbie here, so please bear with me if this is common knowledge, I do know a little about FlexLM, there is an old utility called Flexgen that comes with lmgr32XX dll files that display a "magic number" which is actually the keys and seeds and some other info all run together into one number, I can supply you with the full utility, (ver 2000.3), or just the dll's with an explanation of the format, if you would like.

Hopefully this post is helpfull, I'd like to download some of the utilities so I can start learning and maybe discuss things with at least a small amount of knowledge!

Today, Flexgen is worthless.

I have used the code from freesoft, and the fake daemon had successfully discovered all the argument passed to it from Lmgrd.
Actually I have got the following outputs from the fake daemon,

10:16:45 (lmgrd) Starting vendor daemons ...
10:16:45 (lmgrd) daemon.exe
-T
myserver
8.1
-1
-c
lic.txt
--lmgrd_start

Then when I try to start the daemon with it:
synd -T myserver 8.1 -1 -c lic.txt
or add the -app switch,
synd -app -T myserver 8.1 4 -c lic.txt
the daemon still try to connect to the lmgrd,

10:17:59 ($ynplctyd) Vendor daemon can't talk to lmgrd (Cannot connect to licens
e server (-15,10:10061 "WinSock: Connection refused"))

This is for the synd of $ynplify, it is from Flexlm 8.1. When I tried the saros of Hdrturbowriter(flexlm7.0d), the daemon can be started by this methord.

I am not sure if the higher version of Flexlm daemon can't be started in this way,
thanks,

hi Appleleafs,

I just degug synd.exe with Olly and everything works fine..
I use this argument (posted above by TCM909): -app -T hostname 4 -c c:\synlm\lic.txt
