i not familiar kms licensing, however, regarding rds licensing failover, redundancy planning depends on licensing mode.

for per-user mode,you may deploy 2 activated license servers, placing license tokens on 1 license server, , ensure both license servers discoverable.then backup licensing server contains licensing tokens later restore process, or can contact microsoft clearinghouse install cals on healthy server.

for per-device mode,we need ensure license tokens available @ times prevent clients being denied connectivity because of expired cals, since devices have valid cals don't need contact licensing server.

to achieve goal above,all licenses can either placed exclusively on single license server, whereby other license servers distribute temporary cals, or licenses can split between available license servers.
