Dear IDL friends,
we have upgraded one of our node-locked licenses to IDL version 5.4
(a little late I admit) but want to keep version 5.1.1 as well.
According to the RSI tech tip (1670) it should be possible to run
both versions simultaneously
> The license manager from IDL version 5.4 will support IDL 5.3, 5.2,
> 5.1, 5.0 and IDL 4.0 clients. No
> modifications to the IDL 5.4 license file are necessary to run older
> versions concurrently with IDL 5.4.
However this is what happens
We can run several instances of 5.1.1.
5.1.1. cannot be run when a 5.4 session is running (and vice versa).
Only one 5.4 session is possible. In the last two cases, the license
manager is complaining about lacking network licenses.
Since this is a node-locked license, I thought it should be possible
to run as many IDL processes on that very machine as possible.
Before approaching the German distributor concerning the problem, I
wanted to become familiar with the wisdom of the dear newsgroup members.
regards,
