i have tesla m10 cards, and i don’t know what am i doing wrong, i can’t get the licensed
i have :
NVIDIA Virtual Applications-3.0
and
NVIDIA Virtual PC-2.0
i’ve setup an on premise dls ovf, i’ve installed the license file from the cloud and the server is status enabled, and with the entitlement i’ve provided (5 licenses for testing).
i’ve setup a server 2022 vm, installed the windows driver (hopefully the right one).
and i can’t get the vm to pull the license, not by manually providing license server ip and port, and not by placing the token file in C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\Grid Licensing\License (which makes the legacy fields of server ip and port vanish).
the vm still stays on :
" Product Name : NVIDIA RTX Virtual Workstation
License Status : Unlicensed (Unrestricted)"
what am i doing wrong here?
Pretty simple: You cannot use the Q profile (vWS license) when you only have vApps or vPC licenses. You need to use the right profile (A or B) depending on your use case.
thank you
i’ve switched to an a profile, and still it’s unlicensed (in a profile)
Product Name : NVIDIA Virtual Applications
License Status : Unlicensed (Unrestricted)
and this in b profile
Product Name : NVIDIA Virtual PC
License Status : Unlicensed (Unrestricted)
so i guess i’m missing something more basic.
i also opened wireshark to detect traffic, and restarted the nvidia container service, and i didn’t see any traffic being made to the license server. so this why i think i’m missing something in the process here.
this is what i get in tail (in b mode)

this article i did see. but it contains a lot of information, and i can’t find the correct way to work. i did find the section where i can specify the folder containing the token, and i’ve specified it.
i’ve also read that the fields of server address and port are legacy and should “disappear” when using a client configuration token.
currently the token is under c:\token
and the registry path is
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\NVIDIA Corporation\Global\GridLicensing
string value
ClientConfigTokenPath
value data : c:\token
and in c:\token there is a token file i’ve downloaded from the dls on premise server.
also, if i manually specify ip address and port of the server, i get this error in tail :
Failed server communication. Please ensure your system has network connectivity to the license server
and if i place the token here :
C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\Grid Licensing\License
then the fields of server address and port are vanished from the control panel, and then i get this error :
