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 = vendor1@port@server1
FLEXNET_SERVER = vendor2@port@server1 

Or, for HAL (redundant) servers: 

FLEXNET_SERVER = vendor1@port@server1 vendor1@port@server2 vendor1@port@server3 
FLEXNET_SERVER = vendor2@port@server1 vendor2@port@server2 vendor2@port@server3

This issue occurs mainly with the SW_D vendor daemon and may indicate that the vendor's configuration doesn't allow printing out required data. This problem may be unresolvable if you are unable to change the license server configuration.  

Failure to start FLEXlm license server on Windows Vista  

When trying to install a FLEXlm v9.2 application (for example, ESRI ArcGis) on Windows Vista, FLEXlm may fail when starting the license server. This failure can occur regardless whether UAC is enabled or disabled. 

FLEXlm v9.2 was available long before Windows Vista, so it was not possible to test for all conditions that might occur on Windows Vista.

To fix this problem, update to a more recent version of FLEXlm through your application vendor. As an alternative workaround, you can run the license server as a background process using a batch script, such as the following: 

@echo off
cmdow @ /hid
cd "c:\program files\esri\license\arcgis9x"
lmgrd -z -c license.lic
