This is the case:
-Server application software installed (according to Relex 2011 Team Installation Guide)
-License obtained (according to How to obtain and install a new FlexLM License Pack for Relex 2011)
-Client SW installed (according to Relex 2011 Team Installation Guide)
-The server has another program using FlexNet licensing
Error message when trying to run Relex 2011:
License initialization failed: Flex initialization error. (-97)
Error Code (-97) says:
The desired vendor daemon is down.
1) Check the lmadmin or lmgrd log file, or 2) Try lmreread.
lmgrd log file says:

The support tells me to install PTC Flexnet first, then others, otherwise it`s not supported. I dont`t think this is an option because other workers use the SW (which allready licensed) daily and we will not take the risk of uninstalling other SW products. The FlexNet licensing system has to be ment for more than one product!?
I read another thread (http://communities.ptc.com/message/18228), which dealed with the same problem but the answers did not help me.
Can you please help me to solve this annoying problem?
Thank you.
