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 Target ID received after purchase. |
Floating license | The floating license allows you to install and use the same license on multiple machines. Both DSLS and FlexNet license server are used to manage floating licenses. |
Target ID / Host ID / Computer ID | A combination of 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. The Host ID is for the FlexNet license server, and the Computer ID is for DSLS. |
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. Managed. Allows you to obtain license keys from a highly available license server managed by Dassault Systemes (SaaS), which is not installed on your premises. Please note that the license type of a modeling tool and the plugins used with the 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. |
