Floating license allows you to install and use the same license on multiple machines. In development centers, usually this is more economical than purchasing individual seat licenses.
Prerequisites
- FlexNet floating license server is installed and accessible from the modelling tool.
Procedure
- Start the modeling tool.
When the License Manager dialog opens, click the Use Floating License button.
To open this dialog manually, select Help > License Manager.
- In the FLEXnet License Server Connection dialog, provide the floating license server name and port, provided by your system administrator.
- In the Select Edition/Plugin dialog, select the modeling tool edition you want to use and the floating license connection type: online of offline (borrowing).
Wait while the modeling tool starts. Now you are ready to start modeling.
If you want to check the license information, select Help > About and click the Licensing tab.
