Single point of maintenance

Do not adjust the license configuration of an SLM Cluster from two places at one time. SLM configuration is not equipped for parallel configuration management. It will detect it when parallel updates are taking place and generates warnings on that. You must resolve the problems yourself in that case.

To prevent data inconsistency, SLM uses license version numbers as an implicit locking mechanism. Initially, the version number of the license file can be any number.

Each time you activate or modify and save a data file to the server, the version number increments by one. The server will be locked for all files with a version number that differs from the new version number. As a result, if more than one person modifies the license data from several points, and one submits changes to the server, the server is locked to all persons except the one who made the modification.
