YAY I FINALLY GOT IT WORKING!!!For all of those having trouble
when you get to the License manager part try doing this before
running the license manager:License Manger Setupa. Create the
following directories:i. C:\Program Files\ESRI\License\arcgis9xI
think this one is easy. just create these folder.b. Copy
license.lic to that directory.Included in the Torrent is a file
named license.liccopy that to the folder you just made. c. Edit the
first line of the license.lic filei. SERVER this_host anyii.Change
this_host to the name of your computerokay people made mistakes in
this part and is one of the reasons for the diagnostics to
fail.after you copied the license file, right click the file,
select open with, then choose notepad. now you will see the first
line that looks like this.SERVER this_host anyNow change the word
this_host with your computer name. for example my computer name is
Shnoky so it would look like this.SERVER Shnoky anyThen saved. Run
LMSetup.exei. Choose C:\Program
Files\ESRI\License\arcgis9x\license.lic when prompted.It should be
the first option. then browse the license that youve edited. if
youve made the above instructions correctly by the time you click
next, all licenses for Arcgis will be listed if not then you blew
it. continuing is useless. please do it all over again. and read
the instructions carefullyii. Do not restart.This is extremely
important!! do not restart. choose restart later. iii. Copy over
ARCGIS.exe to C:\Program Files\ESRI\License\arcgis9xiv. Add
ESRIFloat.reg to the registry.I think this part is easy. copy
ARCGIS.exe to the folder youve made earlier. then overwrite when
prompted. then double click ESRIFloat.reg then select yes. if it
doesnt work go to start, select run, type regedit then file,
import, then browse ESRIFloat.reg file.e. Restart your
computer.after youve done the above. this is the only time you will
restart your computer. now after restarting ...f. Launch StartMenu
-> ArcGIS -> License Manager 9x -> Run License Manager
Tools.g. Choose tab Service/License File, and check "Configuration
using Services", and choose the ArcGIS License Manager.its the
first tab. you wont miss it. just follow the instructions.h. Switch
to tab Configure Services, make sure ArcGIS License Manager is in
the Service Name listbox.i. Browse to the correct License file path
(C:\Program Files\ESRI\License\arcgis9x) where you copied the
license.lic file and choose it as license.this is important browse
the license that you edited earlier. the license should be the file
named license.lic. when you browsed the folder there will be a lot
of licenses inside. find the one youve edited earlier.j. Check
Start Server at Power up.k. Click Save Service to save the
settings.l. Test the server by choosing the Start/Stop/ReRead tab,
Click Stop server, then ReRead license file, then Start
Server.alright oryxgazella please dont be dissappointed when it
says it fails. I think this license manager that was included in
the torrent is a bit old so there is no check box where it says
Force shutdown. I have a new version on this and it has a check box
to Force it to shutdown but its not in this version of license
manager. when I installed Arcgis I used the one included in the
torrent so I know what happens when you use this license manager .
It does fail when you click stop server and reread license file.
but it should work when you clicked the Start Server. if it fails
click it again. if it fails again. restart then Stop server and
reread. then Click start server. if it still fails go to the
Configure Services tab and uncheck the checkbox Start server at
powerup. then restart computer. after restarting. Run license
manager. Choose configuration using Services on the first tab
Service/License. Then go to Start/Stop/Reread then Click Start
Server. If it still fails after youve Clicked Start Server. youve
ran out of options. I would suggest Reviewing
