Adding licenses

To all

 

I received my licence from AutoDEsk online with the
following information included:

 


The license file below contains important
licensing information, including license type, behavior, and the number of seats
available for use. Copy the contents of the license file to a text editor, such
as Notepad. Save the file to the Program FilesAutodesk License ManagerLicense
folder. You can name the license file anything you like, although the name must
have a .lic extension, or you can append the Increment information to an
existing Autodesk .lic file on your license server.


For more information about how to set-up your
license file and configure your license server, please reference the Network
Administrators Guide.


I have a large group and want to add the smaller
group to the existing license (as mentioned above).  I tried the part where
you append one licence file to another so that you have the combined number of
licenses.  Unfortunately it seems that it only takes the last licence
group.  Any idea what I am doing wrong?  Anything else I am over
looking here?  I do check the license file with LMTOOLS and it shows both
of the licenses in the group but the uses list is duplicated to both sets of
licenses.


 


Any help understanding this a littel better would be
greatly appreciated!

Hi,

 

you can't have two "increments" of the same product
in one license file. If you want to restrict the use of licenses of one
department and only run one Flex License Manager, you have to implement the
options -file, where you can build usergroups, who are then given the right to
pull licenses from the pool. The options file is described in the FlexLM
documentation and this is unstalled on the server in: ....\Docs\FlexUser. Else
just install the licenses for the other department on a different
server.

Thanks for the reply.  That answers my
question.  Further that point I have one server that servers 2 different
departments.  Each have their own network license and want to run off the
same server but one department doesn't want to share their licenses with the
other department (I know, I know but...).  Is it possible with Flex to
designate which license file that each workstation pulls its license from. 
If that is possible can some one point me at some documentation that explains
how to do it!

 

Any help greatly appreciated!

 

Shawn
