How do I Combine Multiple License files?

1.1.1 What is the Criteria for Combining License Files?
Your product’s license file(s) define the license server(s) by host name and
hostid in the SERVER line(s) in the license file.

License files are candidates for combining under the following conditions:
1. The number of SERVER lines in each file is the same.
2. The hostid field of each SERVER line in one file exactly matches the hostid field of each SERVER line in the other file.

Some possible reasons license files may not be compatible are:
1. License files are set up to run on different server machines, so hostids are different.
2. One file is set up for single server (has only one SERVER line), the other is set up for a three-server redundant license server (has multiple SERVER lines).

1.1.2 How to Combine License Files?
Note that you are not required to combine compatible license files. There is no performance or system-load penalty for not combining the files

If your license files are compatible as mentioned in the Criteria for Combining License Files, you can combine compatible license files by performing these steps
1. Concatenate the files
2. Remove the duplicate Server and Vendor Lines
