Dongle (local PC)
Require a license file and a dongle. The dongle driver needs to be installed. The invalid host error message indicates that the dongle is not recognized. Check that the dongle led is lit. If not recognized, install the License Dongle Driver from C:\Program Files\DNV\FLEXlm\drivers
The driver should be installed before the dongle is mounted the first time (to avoid auto-installation of the driver found in the Windows update). Try a different USB port and remove other dongles.
You may also install Flexlm and use LMTOOLS to check whether the dongle is recognized or not. The dongle driver can also be installed together with Flexlm (select the Install dongle driver option during installation) or install from the vendor site
Store the license file in the C:\ProgramData\DNVS\Licences (Note this folder is a hidden folder) and set the system environment variable
DNVSLM_LICENSE_FILE = C:\ProgramData\DNVS\Licences
