You can use FlexNet Publisher to run PTC products as well as other applications. Each application that uses FLEXlm or FlexNet Publisher has a corresponding license server manager (lmgrd or lmadmin) and a vendor daemon. The license server manager starts the vendor daemon (for example, ptc_d) that controls the usage of licenses.

You cannot combine a PTC license file with a license file of another vendor. Do not, for example, combine PTC feature lines with those of other vendors in a single license file. This action causes the licenses to be invalid.

If all applications and vendor daemons are FLEXlm 6.1 or later, lmgrd or lmadmin can process multiple license files. This is true even when the Host IDs are different (as long as the license files refer to the same node). For more information, see Managing Licenses from Multiple Software Publishers in the FlexNet Publisher License Administration Guide.
