Mix licenses with 1 license server

Hi,

Is it possible to mix licenses (standard and starter edition) with 1 license server? In other words, any way to control which server uses which license?

Hope this makes sense. Thanks in advance.

Best regards,

Gaute

Yes, just put all of your licenses in your license server license file, then when you license the host under 'configuration->licensed features' tick Starter on one host and Standard on the other - there are seperate check boxes for each.

Hello,

You can mix them and using the Optional file of FlexLM you can even limit which hosts can have which types of licenses. You will need to get the information on limiting licenses from Macrovision and VMware. I could not find the proper documentation on the Macrovision site but it exists.

Best regards,

Edward

Thanks! I should have seen that option, but sometimes you can't see the forest for all the trees.

Big thanks to all that took time out to answer my question.
