multiple logins for managing licenses

[ FlexSim 16.1.0 ]

Can we get multiple admin logins on FlexNet so that we can manage licenses better and have max utilization?

Some people might be interested in multiple FlexSim Account logins for managing licenses.

A FlexSim license has to be owned by a single FlexSim Account. The license owner then has the option of "sharing" her licenses with any other FlexSim Accounts. The procedure to share your licenses with other FlexSim Accounts is as follows.

Anyone the owner wants to share with must already have a FlexSim Account. New users can sign up for a FlexSim Account here.
The license owner logs in to her FlexSim Account and navigates to her licenses page, here.
The licenses page has several tabs across the top. One of them is Share My Licenses. Navigate to that tab.
Enter a comma-separated list of the email addresses for the FlexSim Accounts to share with, then press the "Add" button.
The next time one of those newly-shared-with account logs in, they will be able to see the owner's licenses in their account. If one of those accounts was already logged in before licenses were shared, they will need to log out, then log back in.

If you have installed lmadmin for your LAN license server, you may be interested in having multiple user accounts for accessing the web console for administering your licenses. You can add additional users to lmadmin, beyond the default 'admin' user, by doing the following:

Navigate to your lmadmin web console. Its default address (if you're accessing it from the same machine where it is installed) is http://127.0.0.1:8090. You may have a different address or a different port number.
Click the Administration link in the upper right corner.
Log in with your admin account. The default username is 'admin' and the default password is 'admin', but you may have changed those when you initially set up your server.
Click the User Configuration tab on the left side.
Press the New button in the upper left.
Choose a role and fill out the personal information for the new user.
Press the Create button to save this new user.

@Deepam Panchal

The default username and password are both called admin. If you have already set up a password and forgotten it, you'll need to reinstall lmadmin. See this pdf for information about the LAN license server (the information I just gave you comes from page 16 of this document).
