Solution

aspenONE software utilizes Software License Manager(SLM) for licensing. To be able to use SLM, the following requirement must be met:

Bandwidth: For the SLM to communicate over the network, you will need to have certain MTU settings to be able to send and receive messages over the network.

·         SLM Server 8.4 (aspenONE V8.0 through V8.3) requires the MTU to be set at 7512 bytes

·         SLM Server 8.5.3 (aspenONE V8.4 through V8.8) requires the MTU to be set at 1432 bytes

·         SLM Server 8.6.1 and higher (aspenONE V9 and higher) has a dynamic MTU, and requires an MTU of about 700 bytes

 Ping time: SLM requires a ping of 300 ms or less, with 0% loss.
