Additional Failover Considerations
The following lists additional considerations when enabling failover configuration:
| • | Since the back-up license server does not synchronize to the back office or the main license server, data about clients served by the back-up server during a failover period is permanently missing in the back office. Once the main server has come back online, the new license-distribution data can be synchronized to the back office. |
| • | Metered-usage data is currently not supported in a failover scenario. |
| • | The failover process might be incompatible with the type of FlexNet Embedded licensing with which your purchased product is enabled and secured. Contact the producer for details. |
| • | Failover functionality is dependent on the clocks of the main license server and back-up license server being accurate, synchronized with each other, and in the same time zone. If any of these requirements are not met, unpredictable behavior can occur. |
| • | The failover configuration does not support reservations. |
| • | The failover configuration does not support feature partitions. During a failover period, feature counts will only be distributed from the default partition. |
