The license file is copied to the different systems on which the user might work; the user’s user namemust be identical on each system. For this method to be useful, individual user names in an organization must beunique. Note that a user name, when used in a license file in this way, cannot contain spaces.License Administration Guide FNP-11111-LAG01 65
