From: Guillermo Lovato on 22 Apr 2010 10:00 I've read somewhere about redundancy features in 2008R2 RDS licensing but i can't find any MS documents about it. What are these new features and how to they are implemented? for example, i have all my licenses active on server A and it breaks hard then i also i have a license server B that's not activated(as all my licenses are on server A). What happens now?, do server b takes over all licenses? or it runs on temp, and if it runs on temporary, why do i even have a server b if the RDS host can do that for himself without an unactivated license server. thanks in advance

Hi Guillermo, I am not sure about what Redundancy feature you are talking about. To answer your scenario: server 'b' will issue temporary licenses. The use of second license server is that in case you're a is down, 'b' can issue temp licenses. As these temp licenses are valid only for 90 days you need to get your server 'a' up by then. Hope that helps!
