Multiple users unable to activate a FlexNet Embedded node-locked license on a device.

[#1]

Use Case

A node-locked license activated on a machine is only able to be used by one user.

When the second user tries to log in and activate the license using the same web register keys used by the 1^st user they receive an error “license is invalid”.

Error

License is invalid

Type of Licensing

FlexNet Embedded

Possible Causes

1.The license could be associated to ethernet ID as shown below, which might have been changed when the 2^nd user logged in.

2.The quantity assigned to the entitlement associated with the device might be 1 ,which has to be increased further if multiple users want to activate the license on the same device.
