Ive received FLEXlm license files from two different companies. Do I have to combine them?
You don’t have to combine license files. Each license file that has any counted lines (the license count field is > 0) requires a server. It’s perfectly OK to have any number of separate license files, with different lmgrd server processes supporting each file. Moreover, since lmgrd is a lightweight process, for sites without system administrators, this is often the simplest (and therefore recommended) way to proceed. With v6+ lmgrd/lmdown/lmreread, you can restart/stop/reread a single vendor daemon (of any FLEXlm version). This makes combining licenses more attractive than previously. Also, if the application is v6+, using dir/*.lic for license file management behaves like combining licenses without physically combining them.
