Comments

• Incident Diagnosis
  License order not taken into account when
  requesting a license.
  .
  Correct Application
  No V5 documentation commits the fact that the
  license server order declared in i4ls.ini is followed
  when requesting a license. The user assumption is
  true, when the requested license is for a shareable
  product or a configuration referenced by its serial
  number.
  But this assumption is wrong when the requested
  license is for a configuration referenced by
  the "ANY" keyword. Indeed, "ANY" leads to contact
  all license servers in any case. And the selected
  serial number and license server is unpredictable.
  The documentation mentions following sentence
  focusing particularity on: "If you are interested in
  using a specific configuration, irrespective of the
  serial number, and you do not care which server
  serves the license, check the Any License option"
