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.
