Yes, there are many different ways to use FlexLM (Macrovision bought Globetrotter - the company who previously supplied it) and there are some features in the way AVEVA software chooses to use it - partly historical, such as per-computer licensing back on UNIX. We have tried to maintain compatibility of licensing acrross multiple versions of PDMS and multiple versions of the FlexLM libraries, so that it is possible to have a licence that can be used for any version of PDMS that the user is licensed for, within the terms of the license, and combining this with multiple different product-licenses taken out by the same executable can get complicated....
If we had made different technical decisions several years ago, some things would be easier now, but other things would have been impossible then - backwards compatibility is a major complication in licensing. There is a team working on licensing for forthcoming versions, so some of the restrictions may change - I hope for the better!
[QUOTE=UserError;9628]I think the triple solulion isn´t any more supported (yes, it´s still in the manuals, nevertheless). Please correct me if I´m wrong.
As far as I know now the systems stops if one of the servers isn´t online.
.. I correct myself :mumbles: : You can entry more than one server in the registry, working fine with ; between them, I got that wrong.
If one server is down the client should check the next one. there´s only a problem if a server is really running out of licenses (but there is a workaround script for this).
you can also override the registry entry by using the cadcenter_ variable and not the lmgrd variable... so if one server is down or ran out, take a different starting batch skript...
