Running Separate License Managers
To run separate license managers, use separate License Files. If you are 
running the license managers on the same host, be sure to use a different TCP 
port number on the 
SERVER
line in each License File.
Configuring Redundant License Servers
If a large number of licenses are governed by a single license server, failure of 
the server becomes a major event. To prevent problems, you may want to set 
up redundant servers so that, if one server goes down, the license manager can 
still function. 
In the redundant server configuration, three systems are designated to be 
license servers. All three systems must be running at the time the license 
manager is started. However, once the license manager is running, only two 
systems need to be running at any time; this is called a quorum. As long as a 
quorum exists, the license manager can continue to run.
Selecting Servers 
The first step in configuring the license manager is choosing the servers. When 
choosing servers, keep in mind: 
• The servers should be able to handle the network traffic associated with 
license management. A primary server must be chosen. This is the system to 
which clients connect first and which receives the majority of the network 
traffic. The primary server is the first server listed in the License File. If this 
system fails, the next server listed in the License File becomes primary.
• The servers should be running supported versions of their operating 
systems.
