License Server Performance Tips
The performance of the License Server is dependent on several factors:
The hardware configuration of the server:
CPU
Memory
Disk drive speed
Network bandwidth and speed
The memory configuration of SQL Server
The configuration of the IIS Application Pool
Additionally, the following operations have a direct impact on the required server configuration:
Number of client requests for activation
Number of client requests for validation
Number of client requests for information
Number of vendor requests from QLM Management Console
Number of vendor requests from the QLM Portal
Number of backup requests and frequency
Number of Scheduled Tasks and Frequency
Since there are too many factors at play, this article gives general recommendations in terms of the system's configuration to improve the response time from the server.
Hardware configuration
Minimum of 2 Cores
Minimum of 16 GB of RAM
SSD drive
SQL Server Configuration
Allocate a minimum of 4 GB to SQL Server.
Increase this limit if needed.
IIS Application Pool
All QLM applications are typically associated with a single application pool called Quick License Manager. The first time a request is received, the Application Pool is loaded in memory and remains in memory until it is recycled. The process of loading the Application Pool into memory can add a few seconds to the initial request. By default, the Application Pool recycles every 1740 minutes (29 hours).
