How can I have a Diadem and LabView volume license from two different license servers on the same client

[mef0]

We have both a Diadem and LabView volume license and they are on separate license servers.  I appears that both application use the same registry entry to point to the vl server.  I need to have a way to install both on the same client.  I also wish to be able to create installers for both apps and not have one app install overwrite the vl pointer for the other app install.

Hello mef0,

They are looking at the same registry entry to point to the VLM server, but you can have multiple servers listed for that registry entry, separated by semicolons.  When you create separate installers for the different servers and run them, it will append the different server names in that registry key.  On the client, you can view which servers are configured by opening NI License Manager (Start>>All Programs>>National Instruments>>NI License Manager) and then go to Options>>Preferences.  The servers will be listed there.

For more information about configuring the clients to point to a Volume License Server check out this KnowledgeBase article:

Also, for others' information the registry key is located under:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\FLEXlm
and the key is called
NILM_LICENSE_FILE
The syntax for the value of that key is:
Port#@ServerName;Port#@ServerName2;Port#@ServerName3
For example if you had 3 servers it would look like:
 27000@Server1;28000@Server2;29000@Server3

Please let me know if you have any questions.
