If monitoring realtime data on a FlexNet license server fails with the error "This server hosts licenses from multiple vendors," the FlexNet server is not configured correctly in License Statistics.  

FlexNet license servers have hosted vendor daemons for each vendor. If all parameters provided to lmutil are correct, the output will include only the license usage for the specified vendor. If the output contains data for vendors other than the specified vendor, one or more lmutil arguments are incorrect. The most common incorrect argument is the port number. The same port cannot be provided for all vendors on one machine. The port used by the specific vendor daemon is configured in the license server's configuration or license. If the port is not set explicitly, the license server can select it automatically from free ports. 

To configure the FlexNet server correctly for multiple vendor daemons, specify each as a separate license server in the FLEXNET_SERVER setting in the License Statistics configuration file. For example, if you want to monitor vendor daemons "vendor1" and "vendor2" on "server1" you must use a FLEXNET_SERVER setting for each of them, as follows:

...

FLEXNET_SERVER = vendor2@port@server1 vendor2@port@server2 vendor2@port@server3
