    HI,

    I have a couple of questions regarding the redundant License Server:
    Is this model compatible with Windows 2003 server?
    Is this model compatible with 3D Studio Max 6 license?
    Also, I dont understand this sentence extract form the user guide: "If your Autodesk product supports license borrowing and licenses are borrowed from a redundant license server pool, you must restart the license server after you stop the Network License Manager." What is the diffrence between license server and Network License Manager?
    I read that the three server must be on the same subnet. But is it possible to get license over the WAN?
    With the distriubted server model, is it possible, if one server goes down, to redistribute the license to the other server?

    I know I have many questions, but I have to take the good decision, we want to migrate over 50 workstations from standalone to network license.

    Thanks a lot,

    André

    will find the time saved well worth the cost of services. Your dealer can
