Revit License Manager Problem

We have just resolved a problem with or license manager for Revit (FlexLM). The trouble started when we were upgrading the License manager to incorporate 2015. When the ‘Path to the license file’ was specified and the service was restarted the program fell over and refused to issue any more licenses. A little bit of panic ensued as we had users waiting use Revit!!!
















After a bit of trial and error, the problem was that the license file path that was specified was on a mapped network drive, the path had to be direct to the file rather than through the networked drive. Pretty strange because the pathing used for the 2014 license file was through the mapped drive…..

Hopefully this may help somebody if they have the problem in the future.
