"We have consolidated 2 of our MATRIXx licenses ver 6.2.2 & 7.0 onto a single server. Now I want to run them on the clients as well.How do I go about?

Two different versions of MATRIXx licenses to be loaded & run on the clients as well??

You will need a copy of the license.dat file on the client computer to use the floating licenses from a server. You can either copy the license.dat file from the server. Or you can create a proxy license file. A proxy license file is a two line file, where the first line is the first line from the server license file. The second line is USE_SERVER. For example

SERVER host1 17003456 2700
USE_SERVER

If you are using redundant servers you will need one line for each server. For example

SERVER host1 17003456 2700
SERVER host2 17006789 2700
SERVER host3 1700EF34 2700
USE_SERVER

The advantage of using a proxy license file is that if the licenses change on the server you do not need to update all the clients. In both cases you would place the license.dat
in the ISILM directory of the client.
