FlexLM Server Status pulling up different server

[Troy_Gates]

Today I have several users complaining about long load times for Autodesk products. I checked our network license servers (5 distributed servers) and when I use the "Perform Status Enquiry" it takes almost a minute to get the results and the results are from another server. I tried this on all 5 servers and they all pull up results from just 1 of the servers. The image attached is from a server named ktgyOK-A-CAD but is pulling server status from ktgyIR-A-CAD.

Does anyone know what would cause this to happen?

try checking this box and run the status inquiry again

Thank you this is very helpful. Do you know why the servers would all of a sudden switch from reporting their own status to reporting one server? No changes have been made to these servers in months, but all of a sudden today at 8:30 am they all switched to reporting just the single server. I wasn't even aware that FlexLM servers knew about each other.

FlexLMs all know about each other as they are set to all look on ports 27000-27009 network wide.  You should consider combining your license managers so that this doesn't cause other unwanted issues. 

For the best method to properly combine your license files, please read my entire thread here and choose the method that best fits your needs:

Good Luck!
