Sheesh. This really shouldn't be so hard...

Do you have any other programs installed that use FlexLM? Why did you
put in that VENDOR SYBASE line? Are you running SYBASE? It has been a
while but if you have multiple products which use FlexLM you merge the
license files so that you have one lmgrd process which then spawns the
vendor daemons for each FlexLM licensed product. But of you're only
running IDL you're trying too hard and need to step back, take a breath,
and start fresh.

As others have pointed out, there is very little you need to edit in
your license file. You can edit the server name and lmgrd daemon port
found on the SERVER line but you can't edit the MAC. You can also edit
the path and port on the DAEMON line but the path must point to the
daemon specified (in this case "idl_lmgrd"). You can't edit INCREMENT
or FEATURESET lines.

As for "vendor being replaced" I don't understand. You didn't post the
error you received before you started mucking around with inserting a
VENDOR field but my guess is that your problem had nothing to do with it
(unless maybe you have multiple FlexLM products installed).
