What you have is a distributed setup and if one server goes down you cannot
access these licenses.
The alternative is redundant servers.
"The redundant license server configuration provides protection against
network failure by sharing a single pool of network licenses among three
servers, which must be in constant communication across a high-availability,
low-latency network. The network administrator registers and activates one
server one time to obtain the pool of authorized network licenses. This
master license is backed up on each of the redundant servers."
