I have recently installed a new IDL 8.7.2 license, with the new flexnet license server on a Linux Box. I am able to access the license from my Mac/PC without problem. Can I license older versions of IDL (pre-8.3) from this flexnet server? I've previously run FlexLM licenses for older versions of IDL, but I'm not sure if it can point these older versions at the new Flexnet server.

The licensing and license server software are complete different for IDL 8.5.x and earlier and IDL 8.6.x and newer. So you will need both license servers if you want to run products that use the legacy licensing. They can coexist on the same server and many users run this set up. If you have a license current on maintenance, we can build this legacy license for you to run along side the new license server.
