License Key Conflict?

[Doktor Joy]

I have a problem where I am running multiple solutions on the same Server.

If I use File References to open these solutions, *sometimes* I get the License Key Conflict error dialog, warning me that somebody else is already using that license key. The machine I am told that is already using it, is mine.

This includes if I use the Open Recent files item or opener files.

For example, using the machine Mymac1, I go Open Recent >> Solution1, and it opens fine (I provide password etc.). Then I go Open Recent >> Solution 2, and I get the 'maximum number of licensed users are using this key' error window, and 'the conflict occurred with user "Mymac1"'.

Filemaker then quits, forcing me to reconnect and log in for all soultions again.

This problem does not occur if I use the Open Remote... option under the File Menu.

Has anybody else seen this behaviour, or have any idea what I'm doing wrong?

Hi Doktor Joy,

This is a known issue. Please see my posting from January 12 explaining it and the work around.
