Error message

vendor daemon can't talk to lmgrd / SIGNAL 37 exit reason 5

This error is usually a name resolution (DNS or hosts file) issue. Check your /etc/hosts file and verify that your IP address is correctly mapped to your hostname. Verify that the host name in the /etc/hosts file is the exact hostname in the license file. Also, contact your system administrator and check for DNS issues.

Solution

You can try the following:

  1. Open a terminal window
    • For Windows: Start MenuExecute …cmd
    • For Linux/Unix: Start a terminal with e.g. konsole or xterm
  2. Determine hostname with the homonymous command: hostname, e.g.
    % hostname
    RDServ
  3. You can verify that your machine’s hostname is correctly resolved by doing a ping, e.g.
    % ping RDServ
    PING rdserv.<any domain> (<any ip>) 56(84) bytes of data.
    64 bytes from rdserv.<any domain> (<any ip>): icmp_seq=1 ttl=128 time=0.871 ms
    64 bytes from rdserv.<any domain> (<any ip>): icmp_seq=2 ttl=128 time=0.523 ms
    64 bytes from rdserv.<any domain> (<any ip>): icmp_seq=3 ttl=128 time=0.574 ms
    64 bytes from rdserv.<any domain> (<any ip>): icmp_seq=4 ttl=128 time=0.577 ms
    :

    (You have to terminate this command with a Ctrl-C on Linux.)

    Or, on windows with powershell use Test-NetConnection, here with an ip (replace 10.x.x.x by your ip) instead of a machine name:

    PS C:\Users\frank> Test-NetConnection 10.x.x.x -p 27000
    
    ComputerName  : 10.x.x.x
    RemoteAddress : 10.x.x.x
    RemotePort  : 27000
    InterfaceAlias : Ethernet 2
    SourceAddress : 10.x.x.x
    TcpTestSucceeded : True

If you instead get an error like: ping: <hostname>: Name or service not known, ask your system administrator to check the host name resolution.
