How Licensing Types and Modes Affect Who Can Use a License

Table 1-2illustrates how the different license modes and restriction types determine which applications can use a specific license.

Table 1-2	Licensing Types and Modes
License Mode Used by		Restriction Type of
Installed Program		Installed License	Client Applications That Can Use the License on the License Server
			Applications on the	Applications in the	Applications in a
			Same Host as the	Same Classful IP1	Different Classful IP
			License Server	Network as the License	Network from the
				Server	License Server
Standalone		Restricted	X
Standalone		Unrestricted	X
Floating		Restricted	X	X
Floating		Unrestricted	X	X	X

1.Classful IP network refers to the classic "A", "B", and "C" IP network classes. For example, if the License Server is installed on a workstation that has a class "B" IP network address, then all workstations with the same class "B" address as the License Server are considered to be on the same classful IP network as the License Server.

Licensing Requirements

Note the following requirements:

•You must add the corresponding license as described in the “Adding a License: Workflow Description” section on page 5-2. Installing a program and specifying the licensing options does not install the license itself.

•If you specify Floating (remote) licensing for a program, the specified License Server must be accessible (via a TCP/IP network) to that program, as described in the “Licensing Requirements” section on page 1-5.

•Standalone mode is supported for Design and Analysis only.

•You must use Floating mode for Design and Analysis if Virtual Network Data Server is also running on the same host.
