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

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, provided by your system administrator.
  4. 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).
  5. 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.
