I'am having some problems combining different .lic files from 3 different sites. We have a single license server. First site was a breeze (ACA 2013 license). For the second site (EMS 2013), I simply pasted the content of the second .lic file to the first one (even though the issue dates were different), and everything was working. I am now in the process of adding a third site (also EMS 2013). I pasted the content of this third .lic file (again issued at a differeent date than the previous two). Problem is if I click on the status button in flex tool, I can only see the first and the third site, there seem to be a site missing. Should I be using separate instances of flexlm?
Thanks

sorry I don't have any input other than I would be surprised the education version touched or uses a flexlm license server.
We used FlexLM for many years actually. Even today, going through the ARC portal, one has a choice between stand-alone and network licensing. I always liked network licensing better.
you need to generate both ems 2013 licenses on the same day and combine them
you can't have them generated on different days and then combine it will not work
Flex LM will only see the lastest license file whichever one was generated more recently

Yes, I have 2x125 licenses for one site that were obtained on the same day, and they are correctly combining into a 250 license pool.
My question is, can I incorporate other groups of 125 licenses (for other sites), into the same lic file? Or do I need to do this differently?
As an example, say I have the following groups of licenses:
- 125 lics for site A - May 2014
- 125 lics for site B - Jul 2014
- 125x2 lics for site C - Aug 2014
I simply pasted all the different lic files into one single one. Is this the right way to do that?
thanks,
Luca
are these sites in the same country?

then yes
you have to regenerate all licenses the same day and combine them into 1 license file

Thanks Darren, I think we are getting closer. 🙂 In order to regenerate the licenses, please check my next steps...
Assuming that the serial numbers / product code for each site should not change (correct?), I sign in to
registeronce.autodesk.com and input the serial numbers for each sites - this has to be done on the same day.
I then can paste these newly obtained lic files into a single one on the flexlm server, and all licenses shold be visible
Did I get this right?
yes
