I've added 127.0.1.1 to the list of I.P. addresses allowed to run the latest
version of Tecplot.
Until this was done, denials were improperly issued to on-campus
machines having a non-fully qualified host name on the /etc/hosts line
containing this I.P. address.
I observe that now these denials to on-campus machines no longer happen,
which is good.
What I haven't been able to test yet is if machines with non-net18
addresses off-campus are or are not allowed to run Tecplot by doing
this. If they are not (i.e. if they are properly denied), then this is
a simple solution to the problem.
If they are, then we still have the problem of unathorized users being able
to access our Tecplot licenses.
To test this:
add -f tecplot_v360-09
tecplot
and see if an error dialog pops up at launch stating that license access is
denied (or not).
