FlexLM Triple redundancy setup...

  • In theory, we might need triple servers, in reality do we really need it?  I am happy so far that one of our license server (at least 10 years old PC) is holding up nicely.  The only time it gave us problem is when one of the IT guys unplugged it and was ready to send it to recylcle.

    It would be nice, however to be able to read license server from two/three locations in WAN.  For example, if the London office had a surge of users for MDS, they can pick up license say in Houston, or in Yokohama.  

    PASCE allows it 10 years ago and it was a great solution between my previous company's different branch offices, especially for Implant, Explant, PSI type of licenses.  

    There is no reason Aveva cannot do it, except it will reduce their license revenues.
