titlePremium UserLicense

The Premium License can be shared between multiple users and devices, or it can be used locally - similar to the Solo License. If you only plan to use the license on your machine, see the Solo License section.

When doing a shared setup for a Premium 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. If you are the license holder, i.e., the administrator, . One machine serves as an administrator and allows others to join. If you are setting up a machine to administer a Chaos License, please see the Administrator Workflow page.


Here is how to connect to an already set-up Premium shared license:
