If we have multiple, nonredundant network license servers, how do I connect to a specific server?
The situation with multiple, nonredundant license servers is significantly different from the one with redundant servers. With redundant servers one acts as the master and the others are backups (shadows) in case the master goes down. With multiple, nonredundant servers each one is independent of the others. To connect to a specific server, you must set the abaquslm_license_file parameter in a local Abaqus environment file (abaqus_v6.env) either in your home directory or in the current working directory. The proper format for the parameter definition is as follows:
where license_server_host is the name of the computer on which the license server is running (the quotation marks should be included). If a license server is using a port that is not between 27000 and 27009, you must include the port number with the server host name. Multiple servers may be listed in the abaquslm_license_file parameter as follows:
