Chapter1 Planning Your Installation Product Licensing
How Licensing Types and Modes Affect Who Can Use a License
Tabl e 1-2 illustrates how the different license modes and restriction types determine which applications
can use a specific license.
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 V irtual Net work Data Serv er is also running
on the same host.

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.
