Synchronization Process

Once the license server is up and running, if trusted storage is not present, the server first sends a capability request to the back office to obtain its pool of licenses. The server then sends a synchronization request message to the back office to obtain the server’s license-distribution and metered-usage data required to restore the deduction records on the server. (If synchronization from the back office is enabled, the server log contains an entry stating as such.)

Once the synchronization from the back office is complete, the license server can start responding to capability requests from client devices. Moreover, server’s transaction records will be reflected in the back office with updated timestamps the next time synchronization to the back office is performed. These updated records indicate a successful restoration of the server’s license-distribution and metered-usage state.
