Yes you can, when I was at VPAC we were doing it (and
they still are) and now I'm here we're doing it for our
cluster (though only for 2 at present).

What we do is have a single FlexLM install and then
a directory per application under /opt/licenses/.

In that directory we keep the license.dat file along
with the vendor daemon for the application and the
(optional) license.opt file.

cheers,
Chris
