I work for a college it has only recently been noticed that
last years network license hasn't been added to the license server.
Proving they haven't use the product since Early November. Anyhow I
have requested the new license file, opened License manager clicked
modify got to the page where you can read in a license file
selected the new file I was emailed snl_license_email.txt. Click
the OK and it jumps back to the page that should show the number of
licenses we have, but it shows nothing and give no errors.
I thought maybe its the version of license manager so I then upgraded to the version contained on our SW2007 install disk Version 15/3.0(10.8.0.0.7). Still no joy?
Any suggestions anyone?
The license manager has been working without any issues so things are/were configured fine.

Here is what I had to go through:
Use take manager to stop the License Service
Uninstall the old License Manager
Remove the dongle from the server if you have one
Install the updated License Manager
Open the new license manager and click on Monify, if you are presented with a pop-up that says the dongle can not be read, plug the dongle back in
All of the old licenses should be gone, if they are not remove them.
Click on Read button and located your license-file.txt file to have Flexlm read in the new license file.
Click on Finish.
Next, go to the Start menu>Run>type in Services.msc. This will open up the Services window. Scroll down until you see SolidWorks SolidNetWork License Manager, right click on it. If the service is still running click on Stop, wait 15 to 30 Seconds for the License Service to stop, then click on Start. Once your Vault/License Service is finished starting you should be all set. Now depending on how big your vault is it can take anywhere from 5 min to over an hour for things to get back to normal so everyone can access the Vault
