Node Locked Licenses

If you wish to cover multiple products in one license file locked to a particular host ID then copy and paste all of the INCREMENT lines from your separate license files into a new license file.

Floating Licenses

Licenses can be combined if:

1. The number of SERVER lines in each file is the same.
2. The host ID field of each SERVER line in one file exactly matches the host ID field of each SERVER line in the other file.

You you can merge floating licenses together manually. To combine the license files, use a text editor and open one license file, copy the other license file into the text editor and then remove the duplicate SERVER, VENDOR and USE_SERVER lines, e.g.:

  SERVER this_host <hostid>
  VENDOR armlmd
  USE_SERVER

Be sure to always use the newest version of lmgrd used by either product and the newest version of each vendor daemon.

There are some examples that show this in more detail in the FLEXnet End User Guide which can also be found in the FLEXlm/FLEXnet subdirectory of your tools installation.

N.B. You are not entitled to use the mechanism for merging licenses to merge seats which have since been replaced by upgrade/update seats.
