Yes. You can have three redundant FlexLM servers. If one goes down, the
other two continue to serve licenses. (You have to have three, and if
the servers get partitioned into a group of one and a group of two, say
by a network failure, then the singleton won't serve licenses anymore.
This prevents people from abusing this feature into giving them two
independent license servers and getting a bunch of "free" licenses).
As to why Citrix doesn't use, enable, or advertise this feature is a
question for Citrix. It certainly is a feature of the software.
