Cisco Load Sharing (Per Slave Appliance), Subscription — SP-INF-LS-SB2 | Per-Appliance, HA — SP-INF-LS-SB2

Deploy resilient infrastructure with per-slave load-sharing licensing that standardizes behavior across clustered appliances. This subscription activates load distribution features on each slave appliance, enabling predictable failover patterns and managed distribution of processing across nodes. For infrastructure teams, per-slave licensing eliminates ambiguous capacity accounting and delivers a clear procurement model for scaling HA clusters. Operational benefits include straightforward lifecycle tracking, consistent appliance-level feature parity and simplified renewals. Use this license when you require deterministic appliance behavior during peak loads, when you run distributed services across multiple appliances, or when procurement and compliance policies mandate per-device licensing. Paired with Cisco support contracts and configuration best practices, per-slave load sharing reduces mean time to recovery and clarifies billing for multi-node deployments. Ideal For High-availability clusters requiring deterministic load distribution Distributed services deployed across multiple Cisco appliances Enterprises enforcing per-device licensing and chargeback Operations teams standardizing failover behavior and renewals Why This Product 1 Prefer per-slave licensing when billing and inventory must match physical devices 2 Choose this subscription over cluster-wide concurrent models to guarantee device-level behavior 3 Use per-appliance licenses to simplify audits and renewals for multi-node deployments 4 Align this license with Cisco support contracts to minimize recovery times
