I am trying to restrict licence on a floating licence server to a certain machine and i did as instructed in here:

http://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME_Desktop_Documentation/FME_Desktop_Admin_Guide/FMEInstallation/Restricting_Licenses_to_Users_or_Groups.htm

and create a safe.opt in the same folder as safe.exe in the FlexServer folder with the safe.opt content as :

RESERVE 1 professional HOST_GROUP groupA

HOST_GROUP groupA GIS-TEST2

i thought the problem was that i need to restart the server but still not working even though in the log file it clearly says :

(safe) Using options file: "C:\\Program Files\\FlexServer\\safe.opt"

i thought the problem was with the name of the machine (which i got from running "lmutil lmstat -a -c safe.lic" while it was connected) so i tried again using the IP instead but still not working
