If you have more than one license source, you might want to change the order in which they are used. For example, you might have two separate license servers, each with its own license file, and one of these servers is significantly slower to issue licenses than the other. In this case you would want to point to the faster server first.

If you are using Windows NT4, 2000 or XP, you have the option of using the License Wizard. Start the License Wizard as described in ARM License Wizard. When you reach step 6, you will see the Install License dialog as shown in Figure 5.1. Select one of the existing entries in the list, and click on the Up or Down buttons as required to reorder the list. When you have finished, click Next, then click Finish to change your ARM licensing environment.

If you are unable to use the License Wizard on Windows, or are using Unix/Linux, you must manually edit the value of the ARMLMD_LICENSE_FILE environment variable yourself to change the order in which license sources are searched.

If you are using Windows 2000 or XP, you can use the methods described in Using the Command Line or Using the Control Panel to modify the environment variable.

If you are using Unix/Linux, see Shell commands or .flexlmrc for how to set ARMLMD_LICENSE_FILE.
