Automatically activating computer lab via license server

Hi everyone, I am an IT administrator at a college. We have multiple computer labs on campus that use flexsim, currently on 2023 Update 2. We use LMTools on a license server to license the software. Unfortunately, I can't seem to figure out how to automatically license the software without requiring every user to enter the license server information on each computer they login to. We have a group policy object that sets a registry entry at the following location: Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Flexlm License Manager, the key is Flexsim_license_file and the value is (port number)@(license server IP address). This apparently has worked in the past however it does not seem to be working now. Hopefully there is an easy fix. Thanks in advance.

FlexSim 23.2.0

Hi @MitchellD ,

Checkout this article about how to license a multi-user client PC:

https://answers.flexsim.com/articles/134804/license-server-licensing-a-multi-user-client-pc.html

Using a custom deployment script you could install FlexSim and copy the license file described in the article to each client PC.

Comment back with any questions, or Accept this answer if your problem is solved.
