HASP/ flexLM licensing conflict [message #27888]

IDL Ver: 5.4 soon to be 5.5

We license IDL by setting the LM_LICENSE_FILE environment variable to the
port@machine.name where we have our IDL license server (running the FlexLM
daemon). This is a quick and easy and allows me to only manage license
files on one machine.

We just purchased a software product that is licensed via HASP + dongle
(just like IDL has been up to 5.5). Upon installing the HASP driver, IDL
refuses to connect to the network license manager and only looks for a local
license file. I ran into this issue before when this same machine was
upgraded to 5.4 and simultaneously switched from HASP licensing to use a
network license. The solution (after lots of head scratching) was to remove
the HASP driver.

Does anybody know of a way to get the HASP driver + IDL + network license to
coexist in harmony?

I am assuming that the last resort would be to copy the network license file
to the local machine and configure IDL to use a network license in the pre
5.4 manner but that introduces the headache of having to manage license
files on every machine that has this new software package installed.
Bugger.

Thanks for any sage advice.
