Licensing
This setting determines which type of license to use for deployment to a target machine and what to
do when no appropriate license is available on the license server.
The preset is:
 Use a deployment license of the corresponding type (a server license or a workstation license)
 If no such deployment license is found, use a machine license of the same type
 Stop deployment otherwise
Specifying licensing settings
Based on your selection, the software will use a deployment license (which enables a single
successful deployment) or a machine license (which enables an unlimited number of deployments to
a machine). Based on the operating system you are deploying, a workstation license or a server
license will be used.
If no appropriate license is available on the license server, the software can either stop deployment
to the machine, or use an alternative license.
Tip: To force a machine license to be used for a particular machine, you can specify the Licensing setting as an
individual setting (p. 130) for that machine.
When you deploy a workstation operating system (p. 14) and you selected the Use a server license
automatically option, the software will use a server license if no workstation license can be used.
Example
Suppose that you are deploying a workstation operating system. Consider the following settings:
