How to Select the License Server(s)

If you are installing the product and the license on the same server, you can skip this section, and go to "How to Gather Information for Your License".

Before you can get the license passwords for your Solstice AutoClient 2.1 product, you must select the machines you will use as a license servers. Select the most stable machines to serve as license servers. Do not select a machine that is frequently shut down and rebooted.

With the FLEXlm license management software, you can use any of the following types of server configurations:

• Single independent server - All product licenses are handled by a single server.

• Multiple independent servers - Each server acts separately to administer a subset of the product licenses.

• Three redundant license servers - A collection of servers, effectively acting as one server, jointly administering a set of product licenses.

  The default is a single server. This is the easiest to install and the most widely used configuration. Your license servers can administer licenses for multiple products.
