What are Floating Licenses

...

Floating Licenses can be shared between multiple users on a first-come, first-served basis and don’t need to be assigned to an individual user.

They are are ideal for creating a pool of licenses that can be used by multiple users, who do not need to have dedicated access to our products.

Sharing can be done in one of two ways:

  • Cloud-Based Floating Licensing (recommended): The administrator shares a pool of Floating licenses with the Organization's Users, and when they log in with their Chaos accounts, they can use the floating licenses through the cloud from any location. See how to set it up in the Cloud-Based Floating License section of this page.
  • Remote Licensing: The administrator installs the Chaos License Server on a centrally accessible machine within a local network. The users will need to configure their Chaos product to connect to this centralized network location to access a license. This method is explained in the Installing the Product for Network Floating Licensing page.

Cloud-Based Floating License Setup

...

You Administrator needs to add you to their Organization. Once added, you will receive an email confirmation. If you do not yet have a Chaos Account, you can create one by following the link in the email invitation.

Once Floating License Sharing is enabled for the Organization, any user in the Organization can use the shared licenses by installing their Chaos product with all the default installation options and signing in to the product with their Chaos Account.

See the full setup details for Administrators on the Cloud-Based Floating Licensing page.

    If you are connecting to a Premium 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 and activated with your company Chaos account that holds your Premium licenses.
