Edward -
Sorry for the delay on the reply. I've not tried this in a while and had to have some
time to set it up again.
I've compiled a couple of your posts in this one
I'm getting the exclude to work fine (I haven't tried the include, but see my q below). I
noticed that you are using the HOST_GROUP parameter, but then you say you want to control
licenses by username. HOST_GROUP is the wrong param for that. If you want to use user
names use the GROUP (I think that GROUP is interchangable with USER_GROUP) param rather
than HOST_GROUP. HOST_GROUP is for machine names and GROUP is for user names (as I
understand it).
Below is the options file that I've created in a "generic" mode and then the specific
example below
GROUP group_name groupmembers
EXCLUDE feature_name type group_name
So for me that looked like
GROUP dummies jam
EXCLUDE 41500BLDGEL_1_0F GROUP dummies
Is flexlm actually reading your license file, or is it ignoring it completely. You have a
log file (you get to specify the location in the lmtools.exe) that you can check (just
open it with notepad) and it will tell you what it's doing with stuff in the options file.
For example my log file indicates:
EXCLUDE USER_GROUP dummies FROM 41500BLDGEL_1_0F
Does yours have any such entries, or any errors?
This isn't part of the answer, but I'm curious. Why do you need to use and INCLUDE??? By
default everyone is allowed to use everything (as far as I can tell). Have you Excluded
everyone and now you need to include them back (If so, that's a problem because exclude
overrides include). Include is only required for user based or host based features,
which, none of the license files that I've seen Autodesk issue have been host or user
based.

using INCLUDE (or EXCLUDE) HOST_GROUP doesn't work. I already
made a hostgroup via HOST_GROUP before I use INCLUDE in the opt file.
