PH 7.10.G1 AXP License Server Problems

[Hamilton, Allison]

I thought I'd mention the reasons for the change in SETPH.  If you run
PowerHouse 7.x and 8.x on the same machine, they use different license
managers and different license files because PH 8.x is Node locked, whereas
PH 7.x is not.  Because of this, the change was made to the SETPH.COM to
ensure that the correct license file is set, based on the version of PH you
are running.  

What I am about to suggest is definitely unsupported, but should not cause
problems if you are diligent.  If you are not using both versions, you can
just comment out the setting of the license file logical in the SETPH.COM.
You will have to continue to do this for subsequent versions.  You could
just use the old one, but it would probably be safer to modify the current
one by commenting out the one line, so if there are any other changes that
are made, you will pick them up.  If you are using both versions, you could
modify the logical setting to include your own list of files, for both
versions.
