Summary


Details

Suppose there are two license files (file A, file B) and the corresponding license servers (server A serverB) and file A contains bundle A and file B contains bundle B. The customer sets SPLM_LICENSE_SERVER=port@server A;port@serverB

Now, which bundle is consumed if user assign bundle B as primary and bundle A as secondary at licensing tool. In other words, which is order superseded? license server order or bundle assign order?

Solution

This is called a Multiple License Server configuration, a client can select 2 different license servers (THE ORDER MATTERS as you will see)

So bundle B is contained in license file B of license server B, 

If the user's machine SPLM_LICENSE_SERVER=port@serverA;port@serverB (meaning server A is ALWAYS the first server parsed for the particular feature / bundle callout)

but this user in their Licensing Tool -> Bundle Settings (Licensing Tool being PER USER PROFILE, PER MACHINE) chooses bundle B FIRST (before choosing Bundle A)

then Bundle B will be first sought out in Server B  every time.
