It is the same client script (flexlm.sh) that is run 
for all types. Even if there are multiple servers 
running on a machine it copes with that. 
The magic lies in the license file in e.g. /opt/matlab/etc 
or whereever it is. 
I forgot to mention that the trick is to find the directory where 
the license file and the lmstat program, reside. 

So if the license file contains information about hostnames 
and portnumbers for multiple license managers, the flexlm 
Hobbit Monitor module will display it all.
