I have a lot of Clients add another licensing Host ID and allocate them for the site, install them, and they are in a standby state for a DR. Or Replicate the License server to the DR location and use it.

@Ray Davis - you mean on citrix.com or edit the actual license file?

If you edit the license file you'll blow it up, they're signed.

Definitely don’t edit your license file(s)

i won't. splitting the licenses is probably the only support option, right. i don't think adding another host id is.

@newbie1998 I mean Citrix.com Licensing portal.

cool...thanks ray

Reallocate/standby, protect existing, etc

I remember, back in 2004, a certain Health Care provider that I was working with had a 100,000 user farm. For HA, the (internal) architect had them buy double the licenses...

lol...it wasn't me..

I don't know. You're using the non-deplume of Newbie1998. How do I know ir WASN'T you?!?!?! 🙂

Citrix licenses have a 30 day grace period, so you have 30 days to restore the license server. I do not see any reason to have a second active license server running. All you need is to setup a new server with the same name as the old one, install the license service and add the license file. This is only if you can’t restore the old license server. So all you need is the license file, the install media for the license service and of cause a small install guide with the hostname.

Agreed. That's how I used to do it

That is exactly what I would do as well. I did it twice this week to be extact.
