DSLS (Dassault Systèmes License Server) is a licensing system developed by Dassault Systèmes that provides such benefits as:
- License usage statistics, debugging, and simple UI to administer and view statistics.
- Licenses are bound to expiration date rather than product version.
- Nodelock, floating, and managed licensing options.
DSLS and modeling tools compatibility
You must choose the DSLS version compatible with the modeling tool version you use.
| Modeling tool | DSLS version | Compatible |

* To run DSLS 2024x licensing on Linux, glibc 3.4.20 (at a minimum) is required.
