Multiple Systems

In this scenario, each license server instance (lmadmin or lmgrd, vendor daemon, license file, and other files) is located on a separate system. Each system serves licenses just for its vendor daemon and runs its own local copy of the license server manager. {Hyperlink}Figure {Default ¹ Font} shows this arrangement.

Multiple license server systems

Advantages

•

The license files for each software publisher are independent from one another.

•

Systems are maintained separately. If one system goes down, the other systems continue to serve licenses for their software publishers.

•

Each server has its own debug log.

•

The license requests are distributed.

Disadvantages

•

Administrative overhead is the highest.
