Solution 30012: Troubleshooting Issues with a School Managed License (SML) or Concurrent License Setup.
What troubleshooting steps should I follow to resolve issues with a SML or Concurrent license setup?
Please be advised this license type will be discontinued on November 7, 2023, and your current software will no longer be updated. Converting to a new, account-based license before that date is recommended. In most cases you can receive an equivalent subscription length free of charge by contacting TI-Cares.
For now, you may still activate and use your current software for the full license term, but you will not be able to reactivate or download this software again after November 7. If a new activation or download is needed after that date, you must contact TI-Cares to acquire a new account-based subscription.
In order to resolve issues with a SML or concurrent license setup please try the troubleshooting steps listed below:
On the Client computer, the Texas Instruments software is installed on, try pinging the computer that the TI-Admin software is installed on by using the steps listed below:
Windows® Only:
1) Click [Start] [Run] then in the run box type the text below:
CMD
2) Next click [OK]
3) In the window that appears type the word "PING" without quotes followed by the IP Address of the computer you have installed TI-Admin on.
Macintosh® Only:
1) Launch [Finder] then browse to [Applications] [Utilities] [Terminal]
2) Once terminal is launched type "PING -C 4" without quotes followed by the IP Address of the computer you have installed TI-Admin on.
Please Note: If the ping fails with the error [Request Timed Out] then the computers are not networked correctly and you will need to contact your network administrator for assistance.
If you need assistance locating the IP Address of the computer you have TI-Admin installed to follow the steps below:
1) Launch WlmAdmin by clicking [Start] [Programs or All Programs] [TI Tools] [TI Admin] then [WlmAdmin]
2) Once open click the [+] sign next to [Subnet Servers]
3) Click the [+] sign next to the hostname of the computer WlmAdmin is installed on
4) The IP Address will appear in the upper right corner of the window as listed in the screenshot below:
5) In the same window listed above you can verify that all licenses are not currently in use by looking at the number of licenses [IN USE] is less than then number of licenses listed in [Total], you can view this in the screenshot below:

If the license is not valid remove it from the server by [Right-Clicking] the name "Lic[Number]" and then choosing the option "Remove License from Server and file".
Please Note: If you accidently remove your valid license simply reactivate your license number and this will readd it to the server.
If you are still having issues next verify the name of the software in TI-Admin is the same as the software you have installed on the client computer. The names of some of Texas Instruments software products are very similar so you may need to verify the names match exactly as listed in the screenshot below:
The name that will appear in the location in the screenshot above corresponds to the versions listed below:
