Description
Resolution:
This warning will be seen if the reporting RTserver exceeds the number of server to server connections that it was licensed for. NOTE: Each RTserver maintains its own license count. There is no distributed protocol that runs between RTservers to ensure a set of licenses across the cloud. So license checks are on a per-RTserver basis only.
Additionally, in pre-6.0 SmartSockets (and RTservers shipped with RTworks) the default value for the server_names option was "udp_broadcast".
When the udp_broadcast protocol is used, a packet is broadcast to all nodes on the local network to attempt to find any RTservers. If another RTserver receives the broadcast packet, it responds to the request with a list of logical connection names (LCNs) for the RTserver to use to find each of the other RTservers. The RTserver waits the number of seconds specified in the Udp_Broadcast_Timeout option for other RTservers to respond to its broadcast and then connects to the RTservers that respond. If the number of RTservers responding to the udp_broadcast exceeds the number of server licenses that the RTserver issuing the udp_broadcast is licensed to use then the issuing RTserver will accept the additional connections but issues the Warning:
WARNING: NUMBER OF SERVER LICENSES EXCEEDED.
every X seconds.
To override the default server_names option either enter a valid LCN (protocol:_node:PORT_ID) or enter the value UNKNOWN, which is the default value beginning with SmartSockets version 6.0 .
