Concurrent License Users Must Update the FlexNet Licensing Server Software

If you are using a concurrent license of InstallShield, you must update the version of the FlexNet Licensing Server software on the licensing server before you can start using InstallShield 2025.

The version of the FlexNet Licensing Server software that shipped with previous versions of InstallShield cannot manage licenses of InstallShield 2025. InstallShield 2025 will not check out licenses from older versions of the license server even when those licenses are available.

Note:The FlexNet Licensing Server software v11.19.0 can manage licenses of InstallShield 2024 and InstallShield 2025. Upgrading from InstallShield 2024 to InstallShield 2025 lets you to use the existing FlexNet Licensing Server software v11.19.0. Upgrading from the InstallShield 2021 and older versions require the upgrading of FlexNet Licensing Server software to v11.19.0.

You can download the installer for the new FlexNet Licensing Server software from the Revenera Product and License Center.
