Big thanks to Beau at TurboSquid for his help with this.
Beau at TS explains it very well in this video: http://www.screencast.com/users/BeauTS/f...fe3c8464b5
You Authorize it from your work station AFTER doing these things:
1. Make sure You have DCPFLICS.ini configured on your Local/Workstation machine to point to the license server (I use the IP of the server).
2. Make sure the workstation has DCPFLICS.exe running.
3. If you change your DCPFLICS.ini (on either the server, node or workstation) file you will need to restart the service to make it take effect, and sometimes you have to kill it in task manager to get it to stop, then re-run DCPFLICS_tools.exe and make sure it says it is running/started.
4. If you have not installed it yet, run the 32 bit (if you are using a 32 bit machine as your License server) SL install file, when you get to the part where it asks you if you want to install typical etc or Custom, choose Custom. Under the custom window only have the DCPFLICS protection.
5. The DCPFLICS.ini file on the License server should look like this:
[Port]
4002
[Servers]
localhost
[Guests]
everyone
6. Make sure you restart DCPFLICS if you make changes.
7. So once you have all your nodes with the correct ini settings, open your WORKSTATION, make a fume grid and make sure the GUI is visible, then click HELP and then ABOUT and select re-authorize FUmeFX (sim Lic).
Follow Beau's instructions in the video as far as entering both serial numbers (or more if you have purchase more).
If everything is correct, there will be a LIC file created on your License server, running DCPFLICS_tools.exe on the License server should show you have 2 licenses avaialable.
If not you may be having firewall problems. Beau talks about those here: http://www.screencast.com/users/BeauTS/f...48c8019fa0
Hope this helps sombody.

EDIT: I dont think you can run DCPFLICS_tools.exe and AfterFLICS_tools at the same time. I think one has to be closed for the other to open.
