Issue

When shutting down one license server, it automatically shuts down all the servers listed in the license file path.

Solution

This problem only occurs with FLEXnet version 11.6.1 and when the license file path registry key, ADSKFLEX_LICENSE_FILE, has more than one server in it.

The workaround for this problem is to check the "LMTOOLS ignores license file path environment variables" option on the Service/License File tab of the LMTOOLS Utility dialog.
