Background
It is possible to purchase a floating license for our products. Taking the Sonus as an example, a license key might be provided which can be installed on up to 500 PCs, but with a limitation of only 20 students being allowed to use the application simultaneously.
At any time the administrator can check:
who is currently using a license,
how many licenses are currently available.
Procedure
Proceed as follows to check concurrent use of a floating license:
Click Check floating license use.
Result: Data on who is consuming the floating licenses is retrieved from the server.
In the sample screenshot above, the Sonus license can be installed on 50 PCs but only be used by 5 students simultaneously.
The application is actually installed on 2 PCs
.
1 student is currently using a floating license
.
In case of Sonus software, each PC will consume exactly 1 license.
In case of TCC software, a floating license can for instance be shared by 5 teacher PCs in 5 different classrooms, and each instance will consume as many licenses as there are students connected to the teacher PC. This way an AVIDAnet floating license can be used for a certain number of concurrent students. Each record in the License Manager list will then show how many students are currently working in each of the 5 classrooms.
