Regarding the longer startup times: I moved my licenses to a new server last week (win srv2016) and also installed the newest version of flexlm. No delay and same startup times as before. Latest NLM by Autodesk using flexlm v11.14.1.3. Do you have (accidently) configured MR satellite rendering? This will cause longer startup times, especially when the machines in the rayhost file are not accessible.

We had stupid issues with getting our new Maya licenses working after upgrading FlexLM (the pile of crap) which was required for running newer Maya versions. I reported the issue and the next day a AD license support person actually called me on the phone and resolved the issue via remote support. The solution was horribly stupid and involved fixing windows files(!) but eventually it worked. A negative sideeffect was that now Softimage takes ages to start up (probably because it takes a long time to get licens granted) Grrrr I was surprised and pleased about the call, and it goes to show that not everything is bad at AD. It doesn't change my dislike of their corporate policies and software offerings though. Maya is still crap.
