Yes - seats obtained as upgrades/updates are replacement seats, not additional seats. When you upgrade/update an existing seat of ARM's RealView tools to a later version, you will be provided with a new serial number. This new serial number will allow you to generate a new FLEXlm license key from the ARM web licensing portal. However you should note that this new serial number *REPLACES* the serial number of the seat being updated/upgraded. You must delete the previous FLEXlm license key from all relevant computers and license servers as a condition of receiving the update/upgrade. This is because your new license is a replacement seat, not an additional seat, and acquisition of the new license automatically terminates the old one. Use of the old FLEXlm license key in that situation is not authorized by ARM or its licensors. If you instead require an extra seat rather than simply upgrading/updating your existing FLEXlm license key to enable the latest version, then you will first need to purchase a new seat licence (not an update or upgrade). Quotations for new seats are available upon request from ARM or your local ARM authorized reseller. Note that ARM FLEXlm license keys are backwards compatible - thus a license for RVDS 2.2 will also enable RVDS 2.1. For more details please see FAQ "What version of the tools will an RVDS license enable? ".
