ProE FLEXlm floating license question
ProE FLEXlm floating license question
(OP)
We have a server that currently manages 6 floating seats of ProE using Flexlm. A user may open 3 concurrent sessions of ProE on the same computer and the server gives out 3 seperate licenses. This only leaves 3 seats available for the other users or will not allow the user a seat if one is not available.
Is this the way Flexlm handles the licenses? To me, shouldn't the server only give out a single seat for the computer and not the number of sessions opened. Is there a setting that can change this. The power users want to break up the floating license so each can have their own seat assigned to their pc defeating the floating license premise. I am a network admin and not very familar with ProE or Flexlm.
Thanks for your feedback.

RE: ProE FLEXlm floating license question
- When a workstation changes, a new license file is required from PTC.
- If a user is gone, there license is not available for others to use.
- Maintenance with PTC is a bear to handle when you have multiple locked licenses.
There is no reason a user should need more than one floating license.

RE: ProE FLEXlm floating license question
I'm going to do some checking with the operators and try to do some habit changing. They are located in Canada and I'm in the US and they like to do things their way. I don't want to break up the floating license because of the reasons you both mention.
