Are there any drawbacks to using the license file list for redundancy?
Yes. By default, once a license job has successfully checked out a license from one host, all subsequent checkouts must be satisfied from the same host. If the application requires more than one license, this could result in a license denial when the license is available on another server. An application can bypass this restriction if it is coded with the use of multiple FLEXlm license jobs. Only your application vendor can tell you if their application is programmed in this manner. If the application supports license queueing, all licenses are only queued from the first host on the list. Finally, if one server becomes unavailable, some licenses will be unavailable.
