License on failover not activating

kohl9760

I have a license for 20 users. I have the access server set up with ucarp to failover and that's working great. I am however, unable to activate the license on the secondary server. I saw another similar question on this forum and tried the solution but it did not work. I used the ./liman ACTIVATE "keyhere" command on the backup server but got "Exception with license file. Machine properties validation failed". If I shut down the primary server and login to the GUI on the secondary to activate it, it succeeds, but still shows max 2 concurrent users allowed. What am I doing wrong?

You need a separate license key for the failover setup, and it needs to be activated on the command line of the secondary server to ensure you don't activate the separate license key on the wrong server. The message you are getting indicates that you are trying to use a license key that is activated already on the primary machine, on another machine which does not have the same hardware specifications and therefore fails.
