Configuring Network License Manager [lmtools.exe] for more than one product

Using a bit of finger ballet and fancy mouse clicking, it is pretty easy to setup a license server for more than 1 product.  The tricky part is that it appears to be deleting a service but it is not.

1. You have already setup a service for a different product.  For example:  ESRI ArGIS, PTC ProE or Dassault Systems Catia, Alias|Wavefront (legacy Maya/Studio) etc.

2. To create a second service, under the Config Services tab, you need to delete the Service Name and then type in a new Service Name. i.e. Autodesk.  This is the fancy mouse clicking portion of the blog post.   This is NOT the same as  the Remove Service button!

3.  We will then configure the lmtools.exe for the Autodesk product with the following values:

Service Name:  Autodesk

C:\Program Files (x86)\Autodesk Network License Manager\lmgrd.exe

C:\Program Files (x86)\Autodesk Network License Manager\BDSU-2014.lic

C:\Program Files (x86)\Autodesk Network License Manager\BDSU-2014.log
