I have users running into this error on a regular basis. I have additional licenses but they are not being released to users. I have reworked my license file thinking I didn't have them listed in the preferred cascading order. Still not sure I have this correct but at least some CAD users are working with the limited licenses I have. For example, I am able to get 5 Map 3D users but the license file says there are 8 more unused. the 6th person get the error message ERROR [-4.321.0].
We are running Map 3D2010 & 2012, Raster design 2012, P&ID 2011 & 2013, Infrastrucutre design suites 2012, civil 3D 2011 and Plant design suite 2013. I cleaned up my old license file and pasted in new license files from 2013 and copied in the older civil 3D portion since we didn't upgrade this. Again, not sure I have set up my license file correctly. I've attached here for review. As well as a log file from LMTOOLS.
I'm also running an older version of LMTOOLS - 10.8. Could this be the problem? I read this from other discussions so I think this needs to be done. But will this solve my problems?
So I guess my overall questions are:
1. Does my version of LMTOOLS need to be upgraded to accomodate the newer releases?
2. Is my license file set up to allow for all seats to be released to any software release?
thanks,
Doug Rulison

I attached the status inquiry pulled this morning. One thing I did notice and not sure how this might add to problem I'm having but the status inquiry reports that it is using tghe wrong license file. In my config setting I can see it pointed to the correct license file but not in this report. Does that add to the issue here?

there are two different license managers being used on LMTOOLS. The flexlm for our CAD licenses and another called Minitab licnese manager for our lab software.
I did notice the LMTOOLS version difference as well. When I go to the help pull down it says 10.8, but I do see where it says 11.5 in the status.
i just noticed it also says your using 11.5 in your debug log also

thats why you are seeing the -4 error
the license manager isn't seeing anymore licenses because its not seeing the infrastructure suite licenses
