Is 2 lincense is needed if 2 redundant device is configured, since we need to have 2 thirdlane device redundant, we were wondering if we needed to buy to lincence or one is good to go ..

2 licenses... because it allows you to operate 2 independant thirdlane installations. If you choose to make it a standby rendundant server thats certainly an option.. but theres no way to police it to keep someone else from just running separate machines :)

We are also using redundant servers for running several MT's, since a few months we received licences from Alex with 2 mac addresses, this makes the fail over easier, so make sure you mention to Alex that you would like a redundant licence
