Cluster License

When HyWorks Controllers are configured in a cluster, the same license can be activated on both servers to enable both these HyWorks Controllers to support the same number of devices without incurring additional licensing cost.

With HyWorks Controllers configured in cluster, same license can be activated on both servers. This enables both HyWorks Controllers, to support same number of devices/users without additional licensing cost.

    One server should be configured as a primary server and should be activated first. Refer License Activation on HyWorks Controller section for activation steps.
