Switch a PC from/to single/concurrent licensing?

The following applies to Epic 4.3.1 and below. I am not sure about later versions.

Another thing you can check is their epic/bin directory. If it only contains an "elmdlm.dll", it only uses distributed (concurrent) licenses. If it has only has an "elmdsl.dll", it only uses single (fixed) licenses. If it has both, it could use either, but it always checks for the fixed license first. Both of these DLLs are in the ..epic/dll directory. An easy way to switch a PC from single to concurrent or both is to copy and/or replace the DLL in the bin directory with an appropriate copy from the dll directory.
