A method and system for providing flexibility to a license management system. A license management system permits the concurrent use of n copies of a software program over a network comprising a plurality of client workstations, each client workstation having a copy of the software program installed thereon requiring an authorization from one of a plurality of S license servers each time the software program is used. For security reasons, the license management system requires that at least the integer majority of the plurality of license servers is active at any time. The method and system of the present invention allow to change the number of license servers, but impose the following limit: the difference between the maximum allowed number of servers belonging to the cluster (S+d) and the minimum allowed number of servers belonging to the cluster (S-d) must be less than the majority of the maximum number of server belonging to the cluster.
