license peer

noun

A license peer is a Splunk Enterprise instance that communicates with a central license manager to obtain access to Splunk Enterprise features. A license peer that indexes data also receives an allocated license volume.

The term "license peer" replaces the term "license slave". Both terms refer to the same instance type and functionality.
