Floating licenses
Many of ArtiosCAD’s features are of value to users who may only use them occasionally.
Having several users share modules can reduce software costs. The ArtiosCAD Floating License option configures
the software license manager to allow all client options to move between any users with a Connection
license.
Each client option can only be used by one user at a time but is automatically free to float to another seat
when the user has finished working with the module. The Floating License option is purchased just once for
a site to allow all client modules to float – regardless of the size and complexity of the configuration.
There will be users on the network who need permanent access of critical modules. These modules can be
reserved for that user to prevent them from floating to other seats and so guaranteeing that they are always
available.
Features
• Allows all client options to float between users with a Connection license.
• Users can reserve licenses to make them permanently available and prevent them floating to other seats.
• Floating Licenses is a server option and only needs to be purchased once per site.
Note: Floating Licenses does not allow licenses to float between sites.
Note: The license manager must be able to receive network broadcasts from systems that are to use floating
licenses so there can not be routers or hubs between the systems that block network broadcasts.
