For this process to work, the license files must share some common characteristics. Method 3: One license server node running one lmgrd and a single combined license file.The default port for most license files, including license files used by NI Volume License Manager, is 27000. The port number is the last number on the SERVER line in the license file. Also, each license file must use a different port number. Use lmver, which is part of the FlexNet Publisher Tools (see Related Links below), to find out which version is the most recent. Use the latest version of lmgrd for all license files. Each vendor application must use the same copy of lmgrd.

This is the method that is described in the KB Can I Run Both NI Volume License Manager and Another License Server On the Same Machine? about running the NI License Manager with other FlexNet Publisher-licensed software on the same computer.

Configure the client computers to look to all servers that host licenses.

You can not have multiple lmgrd versions running on the same computer without multiple license server nodes or without the use of a Virtual Machine for each (unless all vendor software are compatible with every version). You can also use multiple server computers, in which each server hosts the licenses from a particular vendor. This is the easiest solution that is guaranteed to work.

If you are using local licenses that do not require a local license server to run in order for the software to run, this does not apply to you.It is required that you have a license server running in order for the software to work.SolutionYes, this is possible, but a few conditions apply:
