This page guides users who are connecting remotely to a Premium Chaos License or a Chaos Enscape 4.1 Floating license.


What are Premium and Floating Licenses

...

Premium and Floating Licenses can be shared between multiple users and devices, or they can be used locally - similar to the Solo and Fixed Licenses.

...

When doing a shared setup for a Premium or /Floating license, the license holder needs to install the license locally on at least one machine in the network. Installing the license happens automatically when you perform a default Chaos product installation. If you only need to install the License Server application separately, see the Installation page. This machine can use the license, but it also serves as a connection point for others to connect to the license.

  • The license holder can give out their IP address to others in the local network, and they can connect using the remote license setup.
  • The license holder can assign licenses through the my.chaos portal. This method allows the license holder to manage the licenses centrally; no other user can adjust the license settings.

Using a Premium or /Floating license locally requires installing your Chaos product with the "Local License" setting in the installer and logging in with your Chaos account credentials when prompted.

If you are connecting to a Premium or /Floating License, which is not located on your machine, you are using a Remote Licensing setup. The remote license server is typically managed by your IT administrator or license holder and activated with the Chaos account that holds the Premium or /Floating licenses.
