Configuring redundant license servers

If you wish to use redundant servers, select stable systems as server machines. Do not pick systems that are frequently rebooted or shut down. Redundant license server machines can be any supported FH Web Edition servers. These servers must have excellent communications on a reliable network and need to be located in the same subnet. Avoid configuring redundant servers with slow communications or dial-up links.

FH Web Edition supports two methods of redundancy:

  • Through a set of three redundant license servers.
  • Through a license-file list in the LM_LICENSE_FILE environment variable.

Note: The FH Web Edition License Manager service should be disabled on secondary servers of three-server redundant license servers and central license servers.
