Don't know about this - If you BOUGHT 4.2 and then BOUGHT 5.01 - then you can get Softimage to generate you a key with both in - but if you bought 4.2 and UPGRADED it to 5.01 - then you can run only 1 seat at a time - unless of course this is on 1 machine - where you should be able to run 2 or more XSI at the same time - THIS IS ON THE SAME MACHINE!!!! I am presuming this, as I do not run 2 XSIs at the same time - do not work that way!!

What do the Lictools say?
Did you actually *install* the new 5.x license or are
you trying to run the version 5 from the old 4.2 license,
e.g. just installed the program but not the new licensefile?
Theoretically, it should be possible to run 4.2 and 5.x
simultaneously, as long as you keep the licensefiles
organized correctly, you should be able to *merge*
them in the keydatabase and run both progs, each
with it´s own key. The help and two nights without
sleeping much should get you there (I can´t help much,
I´m coming from the MayaFlexLMside, SPM is a bit
new for me too but should be the same route).
Basically, check your license, see if it´s registered
correctly and if running the 4.2 would block the
start of the 5.x
Cheers
