2 AutoCAD License Files for 1 Server

We want to consolidate two separate network AutoCAD 2005 license files to one server. One license file has 20 licenses and the other has 30 licenses. They both have different AutoCAD serial numbers in them. Once I get the new license files with the same host id, mac address, and the existing serial numbers, how can I get both license files to work with Flexlm 9.22? Do I change the port id on the license files?

Thanks
Ron

 

Have you tried to use the Network License Activation Utility to request a
new license file?

The first thing I'd try is just combining the license files. Copy & Paste in
notepad. Just like combining our 2004 & 2005 licenses of 4 autodesk
products. I don't know of any reason that would not work once you get the
new license files.

Ron:

You can't use two separate license files on one server. I also don't
believe that you can have two entries of the same product (and same version)
in a single license file.

You should talk to your reseller about combining them into a single license
file.

You may have a problem if they are two separate subscription contracts. You
may not be able to combine them into a single license file unless you merge
the contracts. If the "ante up" dates are different, you may have to pay
some to get one contract caught up to the other. Kinda sucks.

Again, your reseller should be able to help you with this.

if the new license file is for the same server (same host ID, Mac Address,
etc), starting with the Increment line, copy everything from there down from
one license file, insert a blank line, and paste it into the other license
file. Works fine for me.
