Hi,

 

We have multiple license files and I have added them to the altair-serv.conf as follows.

This does not seem to work. The server just reads the first file. How can I fix this?

    Hello,
    This is not possible. You can only use one license file per server.

    Thanks,
    Matthieu

    That seems wrong. They mention it's possible in the altair-serv.conf file

    However, when I enter multiple paths like they have shown, it doesn't work.

    This will actually only work if you have different features in your license files.
    I suggest you discuss with your Account Manager and/or Technical Account Manager on what you want to achieve with referencing multiple license files on the same server.
