Adding and Editing LUM License Servers
From the LUM Servers page, you can add a LUM server and edit the information for a LUM server that was previously added.
Multiple Vendors Within a LUM Server
If you have multiple vendors that run within a LUM server and your enterprise wants to obtain report logs from each of them, you must define each of these vendors in FlexNet Manager for Engineering Applications as a separate LUM server entry. Multiple LUM server entries may map to the same LUM server machine, but each of these entries must specify a different vendor.
Adding LUM License Servers
Note the following about time zone information and number formats: Some LUM server usage, license, and report log data (i4blt output) may have numbers with different number formats and the date/time strings that use different time zones. If you have LUM data containing time zone information and number formats that differ from the default settings (see the descriptions for the Time Zone, Number - Decimal Separator, and Number - Thousand Separator settings), and you want to bulk-import LUM report logs or import LUM report logs using the FlexNet Manager for Engineering Applications user interface, you must add (or edit) the LUM servers using the LUM Servers pages.
On the New LUM Server or Edit LUM Server page, you can specify the appropriate number formats and time zone for the LUM data. This enables FlexNet Manager for Engineering Applications to process the data correctly.

| 1. | From the Servers tab, under the Third-Party License Servers section, click LUM Servers. |
| 2. | Click New LUM Server to display the New LUM Server dialog. |
