Steve,
Shouldn't be a problem. In essence, FlexNet Publisher = FLEXlm. As the license management software hasbeen further developedand changed ownership, the name was changed. It's gained some functionality, but the basic day-to-day core functionality and system requirementsare the same.

Jan,
How you outlined it pretty much sums up what I've been doing for years.Works well. Even moving license services to other servers I just copy the folder structure I have the FlexNet/lm related data in to another computer, get a new license file, go through the steps you outlined to create a new service, start it, shut down the old one on the prior server....done. (well, except for updating the clients)
Good to have win2K functionality confirmed. What version of lmgrd, lmtools etc are you currently running?
Erik
Eric,
we are using lmtools 11.5.0.0 and lmgrd 10.8.0.0. The ptc_d file properties tells: created 2004 and last copied 2006 as well as for lmgrd.

OK, I spoke too soon! It does read the license file and will issue licenses
for the older versions but not for Creo.

Steve,
this sounds like 2 licenses don't match with the license server. It seems either the licenses or the license server need to be updated. Check if your lmgrd is at least version 10.8 (RMB properties). Erik has posted a download link to the current versions. Since you are comming from WF2.0 may be your license file needs to be updated or you have copied the new licenses in a file with old ones. You can check with "Configure New Software" or Retrieve Existing License Packs from PTC's support page.
