I presume that when you say "it is so easy to get FlexNet running" you are
not referring to the node component which, I believe, is required to
replace some of the functions of BPQ.
The following quote from the FlexNet web pages would suggest that
replacing BPQ with FlexNet is not as easy as first suggested - so
difficult, in fact, that they do not made it available for general use.
Perhaps those suggesting that BPQ is obsolete are not using all of its
capabilities.
