Hi,
Hope someone can help.
We have FlexLM running on 2 servers running different Vendors licences. (Autodesk Server 1, Amtech Server 2)
When I run a status enquiry on Server1 I get All my AutoCAD licences etc from This Server (which is correct) (lists correct 27000@Server1 and shows c:\program files\etc.\AUTOCAD Licence.lic)
If I run the Status Enquiry from the other Server 2 (which Doesnt run any AutoCAD software, just the Ametch software) I get exactly the same results as the above from Server 1 (ie, shows me all the AutoCAD licences and paths to the licence on Server1)!!
i also installed FlexLM on my workstation and before configuring anything ran the status enquiry and it again listed all my AutoCAD licences running from Server1.
Does FLexLM go round all the servers in our business looking to licence files running? and does it broadcast over the Networks?
Any help on this would be great as im confused.
(ps. If i have 1 server running 4 vendors licence files separately, do i need to point the LMGRD.exe to a separate directory for each (eg copy lmgrd.exe 4 times, or can they all point to one LMGRD.exe)
Thanks
