When I try to execute FlexLM service, ptc_d.exe goes crazy. It is started multiple times, and won't lease any licenses. I usually get FlexLM working without troubles, but this one is tricky. Licenses in license.dat are OK.
Some programs like CyberPatrol or McAfee AntiVirus 7.0 you will get this problem. For a more detailed discussion and other software programs that may interfere with FlexLM, see

Some spyware can cause this also. The thread at the above link talks about this.
Hi, I just had to find out the hard way that mcafee 7 home edition wrecks flexlm communications, in a very weird way I might add. I'm able to telnet to the license server port 7788, I have no idea what I could type, but it looks like a viable connection to the license server, whereas pro-e says that it gets unreadable server answers.
Mind you, this is a virusscanner, no firewall client to be found in a five mile radius, believe me I am sure.
I reinstalled 4.5 like I know I should and all is well again.
(btw, for those of you running 3dsmax, word has it that winxp+mcafee+cdilla=BOOM, as in no more NTFS partition)
