• A comma separated list of three port@host specifiers denoting a three-server redundant
configuration. For example,
port1@host1,port2@host2,port3@host3
specifies the three-server redundant configuration composed of host1, host2, and host3.
Note Use a colon (“ : ”) to separate the license file names on UNIX and on Windows use a semicolon
(“ ; ”).
lmgrd builds up an internal license-file list when it starts up by parsing each license-file list
component in the order listed.
Some scenarios where a license-file list is used include those described in “Multiple Machines”
“One Machine with Multiple License Server Systems” or “One Machine with One License
Server System and Multiple License Files.” :

Additional Considerations
Combining license files
If you have two or more products whose licenses are intended for the same machine, as
specified by their SERVER lines, you may be able to combine the license files into a single
license file. The license files for the models described in “One Machine with Multiple License
Server Systems” and “One Machine with One License Server System and Multiple License
Files” could be combined if they met certain criteria. See “Criteria for Combining License
Files.”
