I always have some fun challenges that our clients come up with. One of my favorites is when they are trying to use AutoCAD and ArcGIS both on network licenses. Here is a solution from the Autodesk Knowledge Base.

Issue

You want to set up the Autodesk Network License Manager with the license manager of another vendor that also uses FLEXnet technology.

Solution

With FLEXnet license management technology, you can administer licenses from more than one vendor. This is done by configuring a separate service for each vendor’s daemon with the LMTOOLS utility. The Network License Manager has three main components:

· The FLEXnet license manager master daemon (lmgrd.exe).

· The vendor daemon (the Autodesk vendor daemon is adskflex.exe).

· The license file, which is obtained from each vendor.

For the rest of the solution go to:

Good Luck!!!
