If you chose the Network
License option, you need to decide which license server model to
use to distribute the product licenses.
TipIf you are deploying
a stand-alone or multi-seat stand-alone installation type, you do
not use a license server model.
For the network installation,
use one of the following license server models:
- Single
license server model. The Network License Manager is
installed on a single server, so license management and activity
is restricted to this server. A single license file represents the
total number of licenses available on the server.
- Distributed
license server model. Licenses are distributed across
more than one server. A unique license file is required for each
server. To create a distributed license server, you must run the
Network License Manager on each server that is part of the distributed
server pool.
- Redundant
license server model. You use three servers to authenticate
a single license file. One server acts as the master, while the
other two provide backup if the master server fails. With this configuration,
licenses continue to be monitored and issued as long as at least
two servers are still functional. The license file on all three
servers is the same. You must install the Network License Manager
on each server.
Each of these license
server models is described in detail in the Autodesk Licensing guide.
It is strongly recommended that you also read that guide before
you deploy the program. You can find Autodesk Licensing guide
by clicking the Read the Documentation selection,
the Documentation link at the lower-left
corner of the deployment wizard, or in the Help system.
