What are Premium and Floating Licenses

...

Premium and Floating Licenses expand on the Solo and Fixed Licenses - they can also be shared between multiple users and devices, or they can be used locally - similar to the Solo and Fixed Licenses.When doing a shared not only used locally on the current machine (if you would like to use your Floating or Premium license locally for yourself, follow the same setup as the Solo and Fixed Licenses). Sharing can be done in one of two ways:

  • Remote Licensing: The administrator installs the License utility locally on their machine, and others in the same local network connect to it, without the need for them to install the License utility. This method is explained in the Setups section of this page.
  • Cloud-Based Floating Licensing: The administrator shares a pool of Floating licenses with the Organization's Members and Guests, and when they log in with their Chaos accounts, they can use the floating licenses through the cloud without the need to stay connected to the same network. This method does not require any further user actions. For more information, see the Cloud-Based Floating Licensing page.
  • Personal Assignment of Licenses: The administrator can also assign licenses personally to users of the Organization through the my.chaos portal. These licenses cannot be used by anyone else while they are assigned to that user. For more information, see the User Management Actions page.

  • When doing a shared Remote setup for a Premium/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

  • page ). This machine can use the license, but it also serves as a connection point for others to connect to the license.

  • The Then, the license holder can give out their IP address to others in the local network, and they can connect using the remote 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/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 the license holder, you can install the license locally on your machine. In this case, follow the Solo and Fixed Licenses workflow.
  • If you are not the license holder, ask an Administrator to assign a license to you via the my.chaos portal. You can see how on the My Chaos Portal Guide.
  • Keep in mind that a single license can be used by a single user at a time. You need to add more licenses if you wish multiple users to work at the same time.

Re-configuring your License Installation

...

If you have upgraded your Chaos License plan, or if you misconfigured your license settings by mistake, here is how you can re-configure your Chaos product for a different Chaos License plan:

  • One option is to change your Chaos product's license setup. This method does not require re-installation. To change your Chaos product's license setup, see the Changing the Product License Setup page.

  • Alternatively, you can re-install your current Chaos product by running its installation wizard again. At the Licensing step of the installation, you can change your license settings according your Chaos License plan. See the Workflows section for details.
