How Do I License A Failover Setup?
A failover license key is issued free of charge upon request for users using our integrated failover functionality.
Question: Do I have to pay extra for a failover software license when running a failover setup for my Access Server?
Answer:
No, you do not need to pay extra for a failover license if you're using a subscription license. The subscription can be used on both the primary and secondary nodes of your Access Server without any additional charges.
Key Points:
Subscription license: We recommend using a subscription license key designed for failover scenarios.
Multiple server activation: A subscription license lets you activate it on multiple Access Server simultaneously.
Automatic migration: In a LAN model failover pair, the subscription license automatically migrates from the primary node to the secondary node during a failover event. Once you activate the subscription license key on the active node, the secondary node will automatically use it if a failover occurs.
This setup ensures that your failover process is seamless and does not require extra licensing costs.
