      How to specify more than one floating license server in LSHOST


Solution

      ***** For Mercury Engineer who is screening this article: This solution is also good for WinRunner (and perhaps other products that uses LSHOST). So please post this solution in all relevant products. I can only select one Product Group in the drop down *****

Suppose you have 100 concurrent users license and you want to install 50 licenses on Server-A and 50 on Server-B but you want the client application (i.e. QTP, WR, etc.) to automatically choose Server-B when all the licenses on Server-A are occupied. How do you do this with LSHOST?

Solution according to MI engineer:
LSHOST=HOST1:HOST2
Where HOST1 is the host name or IP address of the first server and HOST2 is the host name or IP address of the second server.

I found out this also work:
LSHOST=HOST1;HOST2
