Borrowing | Using a floating license in the offline mode. If a license is used on a machine that is intermittently connected to the license server, the license can be borrowed from the server and used as an offline floating license. A license can be borrowed from a license server for the selected period of time (default 24 hours). The maximum license borrowing period is 2 months. If you would like to limit the maximum borrowing period, please contact your sales representative. |
Configuration files | The files where your defined settings and environment options are stored. When upgrading your software, you can choose one of the following:
|
License key | A license for the dedicated Host ID/Target ID received after purchase. |
Floating license | The floating license allows you to install and use the same license on multiple machines. The FlexNet license server is used to manage floating licenses. |
Host ID/Target ID | A combination of 12 numbers and letters (also known as the MAC Address or Physical Address), which identifies the network card of a machine. It is used to tie the license to a particular machine. |
License type | Seat (Nodelock). The license of a modeling tool dedicated to one working place. Floating (Shareable). Allows you to install and use the same license of a modeling tool on multiple machines. Please note, the license type of a modeling tool and a plugin used by this tool must be the same. |
Vendor daemon | A program developed by CATIA / No Magic to implement the FlexNet license server. The vendor daemon tracks how many licenses are checked out and who has the licenses. |
