You might want to also check if your License server has actually been
started (LicTools)

To all: Alright I read all your answers and I understand it. First I never was going to run (2) XSI versions at the same time. Second why do I get the error:
Error: there is no interactive licence to run XSI
And i'm not running 4.2 & 5.1 at the same time. I'm just loading up
5.1 with no 4.2 running. What am I doing wrong, when under new licence for 5.1, version 4.2 loads up fine. When I try to run *just*
5.1 I get this error ?

If you've payed to upgrade to 5, you've still only got a license to

1 XSI, no matter which version that is.
If you bought a brand new copy of 5, then clearly you could still run
one 4.2 and also your new version 5 at the same time.
Personally, I'm not sure where the confusion is?

Thanks for the details about the consequences of the licensing
scheme, I had assumed SPM and FlexLM to work identical, e.g. I could
run two 4.5 Maya licenses here using one 4.5 and 6.0 if my licenses
wouldn´t be nodelocked anyway but floating :-)
Good to know this wouldn´t work with XSI, e.g.you had upgraded a
licensefile and explicitely get one interactive license granted in
that.
Counting per machine but made to block different builds to run in a
simultaneous session from one interactive license.
This isn´t ideal as it would obviously be desireable to have both
builds open when transfering things from old>new for fixing
inconveniences introduced through new functionality or changed featuresets.

P.S: I´d find it building customer relationship to allow *build up*
of licenses but I can understand it would be commercially stressing...

The rules are that one user/machine combination only takes one
token, no matter how many instances of xsi you use. However, it does
seem that the rule doesn't cross version boundaries and running 5.1
alongside 4.2 won't work if you have a single token. With that
caveat, old versions of xsi will run from newer tokens, so 4.2 will
run from a 5.1 token provided 5.1 isn't running. Which is annoying.
Except on linux where a second xsi will crash the prior version.
That's a
bug, though.

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!!
