| ` Prolifics UNIX clients use floating licenses. This type of license is not |
| associated with a particular machine, but is assigned by the license server to |
| each Prolifics development client when the executable is run. This license type |
| requires a license daemon. |
| Note: Because a floating license is associated with the Prolifics development |
| executable, and not with an actual machine, it is possible for a developer to |
| use more than one license. For example, if a developer is running two Prolifics |
| sessions simultaneously on one machine, the license manager assigns two |
| licenses, not one. |
