How to License a Backup Server

I have a customer that wants to have a duplicate server setup ready to run.
How do I stall the license onto this backup server?

Just like you install the license on the main server.

The backup server will require its own license.

I do believe the backup license is discounted and flagged to only work on backup server though.

See this article on how to setup redundancy.

If the intent is to have a complete duplicate server, not a live redundant pair, then using one license would require, at a minimum, a disk-level image copy (without replacing unique system identifiers). There might be other requirements. You should talk to IA sales engineering.
