Dear Steve, google showed me your '2 cents' on FlexLM servers on Vmware : ...2 cents on flexlm servers. We are moving our flexlm servers to a single virtual system. If you have had the hastle of transfering multiple flexlm licenses to another server because of a NIC card or system dying, you will know why.... Can you tell me whether you have successfully moved your FLexLM servers to Vmware ? We know have 3 HP-UX FlexLM servers (in a redundant FlexLM setup), but it looks like we would have to go to * 3 Linux FlexLM servers for academic licenses * 3 Linux FlexLM servers for commercial licenses (cadence, for instance, no longer wants to hand out commercial and academic licenses from the same servers) * 3 Windows FlexLM servers I was thinking about just sticking to 3 phyiscal machines and do the rest virtually... Can you tell me your experience with your setup ? And do you know of other people who've done the same ? Any comments/thoughts/2 cents would be greatly appreciated.
