LMTools Only Issueing 1 License

[paltomare]

I have recently bought 8 network licenses of Architecture 2015 and 2 of BDSP 2015. I have LMTools v.11.12 running and configured to see the license file received after regsitering all 10 products. My problem is I can only open a single instance of the Architecture, any attemp to open concurrent instances returns a error saying a Valid Network License Cannot Be Found.

I even tried combining the license files received for each registered copy but that didn't help.

For clarity your Combined license file should look like this:

SERVER HEADER INFO

PACKAGE BDSP
INCREMENT BDSP
INCREMENT BDSP

PACKAGE ARCH
INCREMENT ARCH
INCREMENT ARCH
INCREMENT ARCH
INCREMENT ARCH
INCREMENT ARCH
INCREMENT ARCH
INCREMENT ARCH
INCREMENT ARCH

Success!

I have 3 concurrent sessions open, will try all 10 in a bit.

Thanks for clearly explaining this to me, I see now I did not have a Package and Increment for each type of product.

One more question, as I add licenses at at later time do I just append this file or will there be a problem with differnt dates?

If they are different products, you can add new seats. If they are the same
or if there is crossover of cascade then you gotta redo it all.

[paltomare]

So as I add new seats of Architecture 2015 or BDSP 2015 I register those at www.registeronce.com, then re-register the seats I have at the same site, then combine again?

If I add BDSP 2016 in the future I just append the combined file I just created.

Yikes, firms with 100 seats do the same thing?

Yes. That is correct.

No.  Your 2016 will supersede your 2015.  The Subscription portion of your new 2016 will automatically include the 2015 support.

Yikes, firms with 100 seats do the same thing?

Not usually.  Firms with multiple seats usually combine all of their seats into a multi-seat network license file.  They have one file good for 100 seats, for example.  When you are ready for 2016, I recommend asking your Reseller for help combining your individual serial numbers into a group number.  Then you won't have to do this anymore.

Hope that helps!
