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.

you probably didn't combine them correctly
here is a guide that @TravisNave made

Your status enquiy maybe incomplete. You need to highlight and copy all the text. Is this ALL there is? IF so, you only have one license of BDSP running.
You need to make sure your license file BDSPRM2015enlicense.lic has more than one license in it.
You can only have one service running in your license manager, if you have more than one AUTODESK service, cancel them, combine your autodesk lic files into one file and stop and restart one Autodesk service.
Thank you for taking part in our community!
Darren is right, as usual.

Your license file only has one license.
I copied everything from the inquiry.
I did try combining but it didin't work. I will try again now.
Please confirm I do need to combine even though all 10 licenses are 2015.
yes you need to combine all into 1 license file

I checked my combined file and removed everything between Package and Increment for all 9 licenses and left it for the first license.
I had LMtools reread the file and did an inquiry, results below.
Still get the same error when attempting to open a concurrent copy.

It doesn't sound like you are combining them properly. Either that or you are not pointing to the correctly saved combined license file. Are all the seats the same product?
Run your license file thru this and let us know the results:
Thanks.
You can send it to me in a private message.
don't post serial numbers on here thats why travis said to private message them
There was an error locating the package definition in this license file.
your not combining them correctly

You are combining off 4 year old instructions and they are no longer valid. This is how you combine your license files:
Copy and paste everything into one file. Both the package and increment sections, keep everything.
That's it. The instructions you are reading are from before package licenses existed.
I combined everything the first time I tried this and that didn't work either.
Can Autodesk make this any more confusing? I'm suprised the combining can't be done on their end.
Thanks everyone for trying to help.
I will try again and report back.

This is incorrect. I list the proper way to combine Subscription license files in my article:
Thanks.
So to be clear,
I have 2 licenses of BDSP 2015 and 8 of Architecture 2015, all with Maintenance Subscriptions.
Are these the instructions I follow?
Combining License Files for Subscription Products
Different Subscription Products: Combining Subscription license files is just as straight forward as combining different products as shown above. If you have different product Subscriptions, you simply just combine the license files. The only difference is Subscription license files contain a PACKAGE portion in addition to the INCREMENT portion. This allows for previous version use up to three releases back. As above, you would still only need one set of license header information and one PLIST. There is no need to duplicate this information in the license file.
Identical Subscription Products: If you have more that one serial number or group number under Subscription for the same product, the process becomes a little more involved. Like when combining other license files, you only need one set of header server and vendor information and one PLIST. However, when combining indentical Subscription licenses you also only need one instance of the PACKAGE portion for that featured license. Note: To properly combine identical products, all license files for that product must be created on the same date.
