SolidWorks with existing FlexLM server

Hi


This is my first post here and i am hoping you will be able to help me.


I have two existing licensing servers running the FlexLM service with Maya, 3DS Max 5/6/7, Architectural Desktop 3.3/2004/2005/2006, Combustion plus others split across the two. So far I have managed to run these packages in harmony by integrating the lines from the licence file for each package into one or two main licence files on each server.


I feel I am quite experienced at getting FlexLM working but am stumped with this one. I don't want to have to run a 3rd licensing server as room is at a premium but if I try to integrate the SolidWorks licence file into my existing files it causes problems and if I try to run the SolidNetWork Licence Manager in the way it was intended it just hogs the server and stops the other packages working.


I hope you can help as it seems the only solution to me at the moment is to set up a third licensing server.
 
I have a low end PC under my desk that I have Unigrahics and Pro/E licenses servered from. When it came time to load my SW license file, I decided that since my SW file was using a different version of Globetrotter, that it might be better to start using another server for the licenses. maybe you're running into different versions of the Flexlm software...
