Objective:

To merge multiple FlexNet Publisher license files into a single file to manage split concurrencies or multiple license increments within one license manager.

Applies to:

• nTop Org Admins

• IT administrators managing FlexNet License Manager

Procedure:

Reference: This procedure is based on the FlexNet Publisher License Administration Guide published by Revenera.

1. Open your license files: Open each individual license file you received from nTop using a plain text editor (e.g., Notepad).

2. Verify compatibility: Ensure all license files are intended for the same license server (host ID).

3. Consolidate the text: Copy the entire content of the secondary license files and paste them into the bottom of your primary license file.

4. Remove redundant SERVER lines: Find the lines beginning with SERVER.

   • A valid combined file must have only one set of SERVER lines at the top.

   • Delete any additional SERVER or VENDOR lines that appear in the middle of the document after your copy-paste.

5. Save the file: Save the new consolidated file with a .lic file extension.

6. Restart the License Manager: Open your FlexNet license management tool (e.g., LMTOOLS).

   • Reread the license file or restart the service to apply the changes.

And that’s it! You have successfully combined your license files! Are you still having issues? Contact the nTop support team, and we’ll be happy to help!
