Overview

LicenseSettings_Locked

img_1 Client - shows the name of the client that owns the licenses based on the token stored in the license.client file stored on the computer.  If no modules are open or checked-out on the computer, a different client file can be installed using the LicenseSettings_ImportClient button.

noteNote

Access to licenses associated to a client can be restricted if the computer is domain registered.

img_2 Status - the connection status to the license server is shown by the LicenseSettings_StatusIndicator indicator. Hovering the mouse cursor over the indicator shows additional information.

img_3 Type - defines the license type that is being used, either Floating or Machine.  If a module is open (or checked-out) the selector is disabled.

img_4 Pool - shows all licenses associated to the client file and can be expanded to show the current users and status.  To check for changes, right-click and click the Refresh button.

img_5 Local - shows licenses checked-out onto the local computer.


Check-Out

Users can check-out a license from the license server for 30-days onto the local computer, providing unrestricted access to the license up to the expiry date. During this time the computer can be disconnected from the internet, up to the expiry date.  If the computer connects to the internet and the license server before the expiry date, it will automatically extend for another 30-days if possible. No other computers can use the license until its checked-in, or the computer fails to renew the license.

Check-In

Once a checked-out license is no longer required, this must be checked-in so that other users can use the license.
