If you have multiple independent license servers (non-triad) and your individual users often check out licenses from more than one of those servers, you can cache the license information from the other license servers when the Licensing Interconnect starts to speed up license checkouts. If the caching is not done upon startup of the Licensing Interconnect, it will be done on the fly, when a client connects with the other license server in its license path. Caching makes the local Licensing Interconnect aware of license features available on other license servers. You should not cache the local host.
Use one of the following methods to cache licensing information from another license server:
Start the Licensing Interconnect with the following command option:
-cache_srv <
port
>@<host
>Add any of the following keywords to the ansyslmd.ini file:
CACHE_SERVER=<
port
>@<host
>or
SERVER=<
port
>@<host
>or
ANSYSLI_SERVERS=<
port
>@<host
>
See Licensing Interconnect Command Options and ansyslmd.ini Keywords for more information on these startup options.
