Another type of enterprise licensing configuration is an enterprise license file (ELF)-only configuration. In an ELF-only configuration, the enterprise license file resides on a master WebLM server, and one or more AE Services servers point to the IP address of the master WebLM server. No allocation license files (ALFs) reside on AE Services servers.
If you use the ELF-only configuration, you must administer the WebLM Server Address page in the AE Services Management Console with the WebLM IP address and WebLM port number for the master WebLM server that hosts the ELF.
The following figure illustrates an ELF-only configuration.

Enterprise-wide licensing – pointing to a master license on a remote server

Note:
Beginning with AE Services 7.0, System Platform is not supported.
Caution:
Using the ELF-only configuration is not recommended because network latency and outages can affect the ability of the AE Services server to acquire licenses, and it creates a single point of failure for licensing.
