License servers borrowing from each other

Discussion in 'AutoCAD' started by Robert Blansett, Feb 10, 2004.

  1. We have a remote office connected to the main office through a
    reasonably stable VPN connection.

    I plan on setting up a Win 2K server in each office as a license
    server and was wondering if it was possible for one license server to
    borrow or transfer licenses from the other license server as staff
    moves from one office to the other?

    I know I can set up a distributed server system so that when the
    remote office needs more licenses, the workstations will pull from the
    main office. However, I don't want to rely on the VPN connection to
    maintain the "heartbeat" between workstation and server. I would like
    to be able to transfer (or borrow) a few licenses from the main
    office, have them put on the remote license server for use and have
    them returned when the staff comes back to the main office.

    Is this possible? Or is there a better way to do this?

    Thanks for any input,
