  • Once you install the license locally, you can share your machine's IP address with others in your network. When they install their Chaos products, they can set up the products to connect to your license using your IP address. For more information on connecting to a shared Chaos license, see the Premium and Floating Licenses page.
    As a safety measure, you can instance the license among a number of machines in your network in case of unstable power or connection on your machine.
  • Licenses can also be shared and managed through the my.chaos portal. As an administrator, you can assign individual licenses to members of your network, which they need to install locally on their machines. This method allows the administrator to manage the licenses centrally - individuals in the network cannot edit the license allocation. For more information, see the Self-Service Portal Guide for Administrators.

When sharing floating licenses from a central License Server, make sure that all your licenses are associated with the same account. You will use this account to activate the License Server, so you can have all your licenses available in the same place.

Install the Chaos License Server on a machine within your local network. The Premium and Floating licenses are activated by authenticating the License Server with a Chaos account that has those licenses assigned to it. Once the licenses are active, you can share them with others in your network to use. You can do so either by them connecting to your license, or you assigning licenses to them through the my.chaos portal.
