Limitations of Redundancy Using the License Search Path

The main limitation is that this method only provides limited protection: When a license server fails, the licenses it serves are no longer available.

All licenses must be checked out from a single server

By default, once a FlexEnabled application has successfully checked out a license from a license server, all subsequent license requests from that application must be served by the same license server. When an application makes subsequent license requests and no more licenses are available from that license server, the license request is denied even though licenses may exist on another server. However, this behavior is configurable by software publishers. Contact your software publisher to determine whether or not each new license request scans all the license servers.

Licenses are queued from a single server

If the application supports license queueing, all licenses are queued from the first license server on the list rather than the request moving to another license server.
