In my experience this should work just as you want. The license servers
shouldn't interfere as long as they are installed on different machines
(I can't comment for a setup of two license servers on the same machine,
never tried that, but wouldn't be surprised if this is impossble). XSI
itself defines the license server to look for in the environment script,
so another version of XSI installed can refer to a different license
server, they don't have to point to the same server. Actually, you can
even point to multiple license servers with a single install, if you
want to.
Moving dongles around to serve multiple XSI installs shouldn't be of an
issue to Softimage licensing, it is ensured that you can only use the
exact number of XSI copies at the same time that you actually have paid
for. Dongle time shouldn't become an issue if both of your machines
share about the same time / date (which likely is the case).
Hope that helps. Cheers!

Hi,
Just a quick question here.
I'm running a XSI Adv. v.4.2 at the office as a network licensed
install, and want to be able to use my (USB) dongle based v5 at home
accidentaly on that same pc. So basically an extra install of XSI.
Will the installation of the SPM license manager conflict with the 4.2
version, or will that one still look for the licenseserver?
Oh... and can I install my v5 on more than one pc, license wise...
Just want to keep my options open on what machine and what version I
work, home or at the office. It would be nice just to swap the dongle,
or will there be issues with dongletime when moving the dongle over to
another machine??
cheers,
rob
