Concurrent License Users Must Update the FlexNet Licensing Server Software

If you are using a concurrent license of InstallShield Express Edition, you must update the version of the FlexNet Licensing Server software on the licensing server before you can start using InstallShield 2023 Express Edition.

The version of the FlexNet Licensing Server software that shipped with previous versions of InstallShield Express Edition cannot manage licenses of InstallShield 2023 Express Edition. InstallShield 2023 Express Edition 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 2022 Express Edition and InstallShield 2023 Express Edition. Upgrading from InstallShield 2022 Express Edition to InstallShield 2023 Express Edition lets you to use the existing FlexNet Licensing Server software v11.19.0. Upgrading from the InstallShield 2021 Express Edition 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.
