Configuring clients to use redundant license servers

Steps to set up redundant license servers on a client using IBM Installation Manager
Redundant servers are a system of three servers that work together to manage a single pool of floating license keys. If one of the servers goes down, the other two license servers automatically continue to manage the license pool.
Note: You cannot use Installation Manager to manage licenses for Rational® Team software. For information on configuring clients for Rational Team software, see Configuring clients to use redundant license servers.
To specify the redundant license servers on a client:
  1. In the IBM Installation Manager, click File > Open > Manage License.
  2. Select a version of a package, and then select Configure Floating license support.
  3. Click Next.
  4. Ensure that Enable Floating license enforcement is selected.
  5. Configure the license server connections.

    For a redundant servers configuration, where three servers are used, type each host name in this format: hostname1, hostname2, hostname3, where hostname is the name of the server. For each port number, type accordingly: host1port#, host2port#, host3port#, where # is the port number.

  6. Click Next, and then click Finish.
