License server issue

Hello,

This morning I had a nasty surprise where after a forced Power Down of our mail fileserver VM it did not come back complaining about "There is not enough licenses to installed to perform the operation"

Oooops

Fortunately I managed to resolve the issue fairly quickly. Would there have been a trick to start the VM even without a license server around. It a big single point of failure in my current setup

Tx!

You can use host license file instead of license server.

Didn't think of that. We will document that as a backup procedure
