You can add and edit license servers using the Realtime License Servers tab in the Administration page. (This page is visible only for License Statistics administrator users.)
The Realtime License Servers page lists information for all currently configured license servers in the Realtime License Servers grid, including:
Column Name | Description |

Lic Manager | The license manager type (can be any supported license manager). |
Status | The status of the license server. |
Redundant | An icon showing one computer indicates that the license server is not redundant. An icon showing three computers indicates the license server is redundant. |
