Chapter 7: License ModelsMobile LicensingFulfilled from a Prepaid License PoolIn this method, the user buys a prepaid number of license-days from the software publisher. The user can thenfulfill a license using a partial amount of the total license-days for the given borrow period, node-locked to aparticular system. For example, in preparation for a business trip (or even during a business trip), the user fulfills alicense that expires in five days that is node-locked to their laptop. Each fulfillment can be node-locked to adifferent system (or even multiple times to the same system), thus allowing mobility of license usage within the prepaidnumber of license-days.This model is like pay-per-use because each fulfillment is made from a decreasing number of license-days. It isdifferent than other pay-per-use models because, once node-locked to a system, that system is allowed unlimiteduse of the application until the license expires. This short-term license cannot be returned early; once fulfilled,those license-days cannot be refunded. Other pay-per-use models charge based on the number of times theapplication is used.66 FNP-11111-LAG01 License Administration Guide
