Set or change the LM_LICENSE_FILE variable

The administrator of the Chicago server should set LM_LICENSE_FILE to 27000@chicago;27000@tokyo, where 27000 represents the port that the license servers in Chicago and Tokyo are running. This directs the license engine to first attempt license checkouts from Chicago. If unsuccessful, it will attempt to checkout from Tokyo.

The administrator of the Tokyo server should set LM_LICENSE_FILE to 27000@tokyo;27000@chicago. This directs the license engine to first attempt license checkouts from Tokyo. If unsuccessful, it will attempt to checkout from Chicago.

Note: As with three-server redundancy, we recommend running lmtools to verify the status of the redundant license servers once all servers are up and running.

1. To view or change the current environment variables, right-click My Computer, and then select Properties.
2. Click the Advanced tab, and then click Environment Variables.
3. Under System variables, select LM_LICENSE_FILE, and then click Edit.

4. Change Variable value from C:\Program Files\ACSXerox\FH Web Edition\Programs to reflect the new redundant servers.

   Note: Separate the license server names with a semicolon (;). FH Web Edition attempts the first server in the list. If that fails for any reason, the second server is tried.

5. Restart the FH Web Edition Application Publishing Service.
