Solution:

If you have another application that uses the FLEXnet license manager, you can share a single license server, or set up separate license servers for each product on different hosts. See the instructions below if you want to share a single license server. For more information see the related solutions below.

MATLAB requires the license manager version that it has been shipped with. If you are sharing your license manager make sure that you are at this FLEXnet version (or higher). Since FLEXnet is backwards compatible this should not cause any errors with previous versions.

When setting up a single license server for multiple vendors you will need to accomplish the following steps:

1) If combining multiple license files for MATLAB, then make sure the license files are encrypted to the same hostid
2) Concatenate your licenses into one file
3) Ensure you have only one SERVER line
4) Create separate DAEMON lines for each vendor (if you are combining multiple MATLAB licenses, you will only need the MATLAB vendor daemon line)
5) Clients use the simple license file:

SERVER <hostname> <hostid> <port num>
USE_SERVER

If you wish to run separate license servers for each vendor you need only make sure that each is running on different ports.

NOTE: Multiple MATLAB vendor daemons cannot be started on a single machine. Only one vendor daemon for MATLAB can be started at a time.
