LSF_LICENSE_FILE="1700@hostD"
•
For a license with redundant servers, use a comma to separate the port@host_names. The
port number must be the same as that specified in the SERVER line of the license file. For
example:
LSF_LICENSE_FILE="port@hostA,port@hostB,port@hostC"

Windows example:
LSF_LICENSE_FILE="C:\licenses\license1|C:\licenses\license2|D:\mydir\license3"

server. When checking out a license, LSF searches the servers in the order in which they are
