The normal solution to this hot backup license issue is to install the server license for both the main and the backup servers in the database - only the one corresponding to the ARS server currently active will be used - the other will be ignored. When you turn off the main ars server and start the standby, it will recognize its own license and work correctly. This should work whether you have a 'shared' database on a separate DB server, or if you are maintaining a backup copy of the database through some sql mechanism.

The server licenses are still in a file aren’t they? I though only the user licenses are in the database. Thanks, Roger A.

Secondly, yes, the server license (Hotbackup) will be different for each of the ARS server machines.

Second, I have to assume you are talking about user licenses not server licenses. Are both of these assumptions correct? Thanks, Roger A.

In 6.3 and prior, it was relatively simple (license-wise) since the licenses were in a file, and not the database. How does, or what is the best way, it should work in a 7 environment since the licenses are not in the database? We thought of having a seperate "standby" database instance that would get updated via a SQL transaction log. The problem, however, is that if the PRD system went down, we'd have to do something with the license to get it to work. Thoughts? Ideas?
