FLEX License question

The main office is in Williamsburg and the branch office is in Richmond. We
have a private T1 connecting sites. I want to share the licenses between
offices and also have redundancy.

For example, I want to put 5 licenses in Richmond and 20 licenses in
Williamsburg and allow each site to draw for the other site if an additional
license is needed on a short term basis.

Additionally, I want to have a redundant FlexLM at each location.

This scenario will allow both offices to function in the case of a T1
failure, creating two smaller pools instead of a single distributed pool.
It will also allow the offices to function in the event a FlewLM server goes
down for any reason at both locations.

Is this configuration possible? If so, where can I find documentation?

Rich,

We do not recommend mixing the redundant and distributed models. Consider a
10/15 license split or using a third server to do a 5/10/10 split to
minimize the impact of a single server failure. The result will be more
predictable than redundancy and will be easier to administrate.
