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

  1. Start the modeling tool.
  2. When the License Manager dialog opens, click the Use Floating License button.

    To open this dialog manually, select Help > License Manager.


  3. In the FLEXnet License Server Connection dialog, provide the floating license server name and port.
  4. In the Select Edition/Plugin dialog, select an edition of the modeling tool you want to use and the mode of taking the floating license: online of offline (borrowing).
  5. Wait while the modelling tool starts. Now you are ready to start modeling.

    If you want to check the license information later on, select Help > About and click the Licensing tab.
