If you have some applications (eg m(at)delsim , HDL D.e.s.i.g.n.e.r, @nac(at)d)
from the same manufacturer (m(at)deltech for example )
and you use only one machine ,
you just need to set the LM_LICENSE_FILE and
MGLS_HOME variables .
No need to run a server

You can do in either way:
1. start each license individually
lmgrd -c license1.dat
lmgrd -c license2.dat
....
2. merge the license files together into one big file
lmgrd -c biglicense.dat
Make sure the SERVER line and DAEMON line didn't conflict.

I think use environment themself first, just like "CDS_LIC_FILE" "SNPSLMD_LICENSE_FILE" "MGLS_LICENSE_FILE" etc, then use "LM_LICENSE_FILE" but split them with ":".
You can use "LM_LICENSE_FILE" with ":" only.

You are rigth ,
You can use multiple license files and use only LM_LICENSE_FILE to point on them .
For example :
export LM_LICENSE_FILE= path_to_license1.dat:path_to_license2.dat:path_to_license3.dat

My opion is put ur nodelock license in their private enviroment variable's path. And u may put the other nodelock license in the default location.
/usr/local/flexlm/licenses/license.dat Then u dont even set the LM_LICENSE_FILE . For the license server , some of them need to point to the license file , other should point to their port . It seem no good way to do the multi-license. I found the new flexlm version can store the tool's specific license port info in ur home directory as one .xxx log .
There are few tools really need to start license server if u got license from EFAGen. For the hint of the private license enviroment variable ,
u may look the windows's registry path on HK_LM/Software/Flexlm License Manager/ . There are many undocumented license variables have been set here.

| I think maybe you could use different port # for each product.
