Essentially, I have one FLEXlm server serving licences for two applications (with separate vendor daemons).  When I run ./qlicserver -n, I'm getting double the number of licenses for my managed licenses because each vendor daemon appears to be counting the other's licenses as well as its own.  I'm sure this is probably a FLEXlm problem, not a qlicserver issue, but I thought I'd start here for any advice or gotchas.

Yes, I had this same problem. The solution I implemented and has been
working fine for months (or over a year already) is to just start an
lmutil wrapper that does a "sort | uniq" on the lmutil output.

So in the qlicserver script I pointed $cmd to use my
lmutil_for_flex-grid script, and lmutil_for_flex-grid is just one line with

/opt/FlexLM/bin/v11.8.0.0/lmutil $* | sort | uniq
