If we have multiple, nonredundant network license servers, how do I connect to a specific server?
The situation with multiple, nonredundant license servers is significantly different from
the one with redundant servers. With redundant servers one acts as the main server and the
others are backups (shadows) in case the main server goes down. With multiple, nonredundant
servers each one is independent of the others. To connect to a specific server, you must set the
abaquslm_license_file parameter in a local Abaqus environment file (abaqus_v6.env) either in your home directory or in the
current working directory. The proper format for the parameter definition is as
follows:

license server is running (the quotation marks should be included). If a license server is using
a port that is not between 27000 and 27009, you must include the port number with the server
host name. Multiple servers may be listed in the
abaquslm_license_file parameter as
follows:
