Portuguese translation:follow the sun license=licença partilhada
Explanation:
Interesting idea's

Splitting up the licenses over three seperate servers takes away the "folow the Sun" principle where all the licenses are shared and used much more efficiently.

I've seen the license server clustering whitepapers from CCS. For an implementation on this scale I would rather have a single dedicated license server than a shared cluster environment. A dedicated cluster would be the best solution, but it is in comparison very expensive.

I'll also look up the possibilities with clustering over WAN, although my educated guess is that cluster traffic is a bit much for WAN environments (1 GB seems a lot, but that is a lot of application related data going over it)

I'm going to test in my LAB what exactly happens when the license server fails or crashes, is down for maintenance, or when the network is experiencing problems. It also worries me a bit that the license server is not completely stable, I've seen many posts about disappearing licenses and so on..

From my stand point of view, there are no fundamental issues with a global license server, as long as the WAN connection are properly scaled and managed, and the license server has dedicated hardware.

Explanation:
Follow-the-sun is a type of global workflow in which tasks are passed around daily between work sites that are many time zones apart. Such a workflow is set up in order to reduce project duration and increase responsiveness. Thus, the work is "following the sun" and never stops
