FlexLM License Server transferHi ...
Due to a hardware error I have to move the AIS licenses to a new(er) server.
I've installed FlexLM on the new server and obtained a new license file.
My question is: Can I / how do I change licenses from one server to another
without the users noticing it?

I don't think you can for the AutoCAD side Peer. If you installed Inventor
from the cd and told it that it was a network version it might not have a
glitch, so that might be good news.
But just look forward to a late night.

Isn't it so that MDT/Acad as well as Inventor just looks for the network
license and then comes up with a dialog box saying 'Specify license server
or license file' and if you tell the server name all is fine?

, I know any Mdt/Acad will. I've never moved a network install of Inventor
so I'm not so sure of that.
My thought is because inventor doesn't need you to specify a license server
if you install it from the disk, you'll be okay. If you installed it though
a network image you may have to tell it where the new server is.

OK-now I've shut down the old server and checked the 'Force Server Shutdown'
because there are borrowed licenses.
From the Debug.log file:
*********
9:56:18 (lmgrd) Cannot lmdown the server when licenses are borrowed
(-120,567)
*********
What does this mean - can't we repair the old server yet?

You may have to force the licenses to be checked in. Then shut it down

Hi Peer,
the problem is that you first clicked stop server and only then checked
"Force Server Shutdown" so, now you need to restart your server, check that
check box and then click stop server.
Hope this helps,
