Primary license server is forwarding all license request to the backup license server.
Info log: Node X has acquired the License from the Backup Server Y while the Primary Server Z is still operational. Everything seems to work just fine. Would like to know why this is?
Version is SP2023 R2 SP1

  • The client nodes determine which Licnese Server it trys to get it's licenses from.  The way the failover works is the client node does a fast port ping to the primary to see if it can be reached.  If that fails then it fails over to the backup and fast port pings to see if it can be reached.  If that succeeds it then trys to acquire from the backup.

    What should happen is on subsequent refresh or acquisitions the primary is checked again and should switch back to primary once it is reachable again.
