3.3.2 Authorizing license registration for management relay servers

In a multi-server configuration, provided that authorization from the primary management server is granted, you can register product licenses on any management relay server. Authorize product license registration for a management relay server if you want to manage product licenses by purchasing and registering them for each management relay server. To authorize product license registration for a management relay server, execute the distributelicense command to configure product license information on the management relay server.

Important

After a product license is registered on a management relay server, you will not be able to distribute product licenses from the primary management server to the management relay server and management relay servers under it. Therefore, carefully consider the ranges of shared licenses before authorizing product license registration for a management relay server.

Once product license registration is authorized, ranges of shared licenses are automatically formed. The number of licenses held in the range of shared licenses whose sharing source is the primary management server is equal to the total number of licenses on the primary management server subtracted by the number of licenses distributed to the management relay servers. The number of licenses held in the range of shared licenses whose sharing source is the management relay server for which product license registration has been authorized is equal to the number of licenses you have registered on the management relay server.

The following figure shows an example configuration of ranges of shared licenses, and product license information in each range of shared licenses when product license registration is authorized.
