FMS 2 License Stack issue

Due to increased traffic on our FMS we need to stack another license. We have 2 licenses on 2 servers. We would like to take the license from server 2 which is not in use and stack with the license already on server 1.

When I try and add the serial via the console it invalidates both licenses and switches to developer edition. I have checked the admin log and this shows the following error - "Volume licenses can not be mixed with any other kind. Switching to developer edition." If I remove either serial key the remaining key becomes valid again and so switches back to 150 connections mode.

Any help would be much appreciated.

    Thanks Graham. After finally getting through to there technical support I was able to speak to someone who looked into the license keys and found that the first one we purchased was a volume licence. They then issued us with a new License key which enabled us to stack with no problems.

    Now running some tests on FMS3 will deffinatly look to use this soon.

    I would suggest talking with your reseller. It sounds like you have specific licenses that only work with one type of licensing scheme. There are three different types with FMS2, you'll need to stack licenses of the same kind.

    Might be a good opportunity to upgrade to FMS3 which has no license restrictions like FMS2.
