Regarding License Server in SMP System > Licensing > License Servers
Hi
May I know what is the benefits of using the License Servers option and when to use it? Read through the documentation http://localhost:57772/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.Page.cls?KEY=GSA_license#G... but failed to comprehend it.
Thanks

The benefits are:
Use it for multiserver deployments.
Hi Eduard
But for it to work, the Cache instance will need to have a license key in each server before the License Server to actually work. If without a cache.key, it will not work..Tested using "d $SYSTEM.OBJ.ShowServer()" command. Unless I test it wrongly.

Try this.
1. Stop caché.
2. In cache.cpf write correct remote license server
[LicenseServers] LOCAL=host,portwhere port usually is 4001
3. Start instance
Instance should start and show correct license information.
I have update the cpf file with the following info (removed the cache.key file from my local cache instance)
[LicenseServers]
SERVER 4=7.7.7.4,4001
Getting "Licensed to: License missing or unreadable. " in SMP. Tried to run the following in Cache instance..
USER>Do $System.License.ShowServer()
Not connected to license server
Next I shutdown Cache, put back the cache.key into my local instance and start. Then run the command again :
USER>d $SYSTEM.License.ShowServer()
Active license server at address = 7.7.7.4 port = 4001
USER>
In the documentation it also mentioned quote " However, each Caché instance must have a local copy of the authorizing license key file installed " taken from https://docs.intersystems.com/latest/csp/docbook/DocBook.UI.Page.cls?KEY...
