Floating Licenses

...

Premium and Floating Licenses expand on the Solo and Fixed Licenses - they can also 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.

and devices, 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 (recommended): The administrator shares a pool of Floating licenses with the Organization's Members and GuestsUsers, 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 from any location. See how to set it up in the Cloud-Based Floating LicensingLicense section of this page.
  • Personal Assignment of LicensesRemote Licensing: 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.
