Overview
...
The License Server is a secure way to license products online as a highly-encrypted centralized online system that manages licenses for all your systems. Additionally, the License Server also provides for users to "borrow" licenses from their online accounts and work offline without having Internet connection or a hardware dongle, for up to 14 days at a time.
