If you want true HA, then yes, your going to need to have an indexer set up in HA to act as a license server. Sales can provide you with a HA specific license, iirc, at a reduced cost. Don't quote me on that particular piece.

Please see: http://docs.splunk.com/Documentation/Splunk/latest/Installation/Highavailabilityreferencearchitecture

and note this:

There are many ways you can implement specific aspects of this architecture. For guidance, talk with Splunk Professional Services.

This second solution has the advantage that it depends less on the capabilities of your underlying storage system. On the downside, it requires double the hardware (since you're doubling the indexers), as well as a license for twice the indexing volume (since you're indexing everything twice).
