I have a network server holding my lic file for AutoCAD 2005 and the server has 2 network cards on the motherboard, the lic file defines that it should use a certain MAC address, however every so often it chooses to not see the network card I want it to and so refuses to let me start AutoCAD.

Do I have a way to ensure that it looks at the network card I have specified in the lic file first?

Disable one of the network cards (NICs). If you cannot, then consider moving your FlexLM service to another server that can run with only a single NIC. You can configure things to allow multiple NICs but it's generally more pain than it's worth.

I believe that FlexLM can bind to any NIC in the PC, whether or not the card
is actually connected to the network... (right, Jerry?)

David,

FLEXlm works fine with dual NICS.
