When launching ERDAS IMAGINE 2018 it can take a minute or longer for the software to start. The same slowness can also occur when opening individual ERDAS IMAGINE tools and modules.
This issue has been fixed in an updated version of the Geospatial License Administrator (v16.5.0.21).
If you cannot update your version of the Geospatial License Administrator please set a system environment variable when using a proxy server. Create the system environment variable https_proxy on the client and server machines using this format:
https_proxy=http://username: password@proxy.company.com: port
If you do not need a username and password, you can use the following format:
https_proxy=http://proxy.company.com: port
Replace the following fields with the actual information for your system: username, password, proxy.company.com, port.
Examples:
username: erdas1user
password: imagine2pass
proxy.company.com: proxy.hexagon.com or 129.136.158.119
port: 321
https_proxy=http://erdas1user:imagine2pass@129.136.158.119:321
https_proxy=http://erdas1user:imagine2pass@proxy.hexagon.com:321
https_proxy=http://proxy.hexagon.com
https_proxy=http://proxy.hexagon.com:321
https_proxy=http://129.136.158.119
https_proxy=http://129.136.158.119:321
