Aggressive search for licenses
In normal circumstances, as long as both the client and server are on the same network and the correct port firewall exceptions have been configured, the clients should automatically see and be able to use the licenses if any are available. However, if the above have been checked and the clients are still unable to see the license we can set up an aggressive search to force the client to query the license on a specific IP address.
As with limiting access, we start by going to the Configuration menu in the Sentinel admin control center, but then go to the Access to Remote License Managers tab.
Here we can check the box for "Aggressive Search for Remote Licenses" and also enter the IP address of the license server machine.
Note that if the IP addresses are assigned dynamically this can result in the aggressive search failing since the IP address the client is searching on might have been reassigned to another machine. It is therefore important to make sure that the static IP addresses are used.
