[THIN] Re: Citrix Licensing service - share with other products?

Well each product gets it's own vendor daemon, and then there's the FlexLM service that manages all of those. The product requesting the license talks to the vendor daemon, not the master FlexLM service. (At least that is the way FlexLM is architected).

 

In some other FlexLM environments i have, I have three different vendor daemons (all different versions, too) running under the same umbrella Flex service. Citrix, however, is not one of them.

Whilst the  underlying technology is the same, such as the license server daemon (lmgrd.exe), the vendor daemon (Citrix.exe), and the communications between the Citrix products and vendor daemon is very different in the way it works to say VMware.

 

Cheers,

Just a silly thought, but since the citrix licensing server engine is the macrovision flexnet, any reason I couldn't use it to hand out licenses for other products that use the flexnet licensing engine? Anyone done it?
