Network Licensing
About Network Licenses
With a network license, you can deploy your Creative Finishing software on
any supported workstation in your facility. A license server manages the
number and types of licenses you have available.
Network licenses are available only to customers with subscription to Inferno,
Flame, Flame Premium, Smoke Advanced, and Lustre Master Station.
NOTE Network licenses are also available for Autodesk Flare, Autodesk Burn, and
Autodesk Burn for Lustre.
All other customers must use node-locked licenses.
Network License Models
You must decide which Linux license server model to use for managing your
Autodesk product licenses on a server. Autodesk supports the following network
license server models:
■ Single license server model
■ Redundant license server model
Single License Server Model
In the single license server model, the license server daemon is installed on a
single server, so license management and activity is restricted to this server.
A single license file represents the total number of licenses available on the
server. This single license server can reside on a remote workstation or on the
same workstation as your Creative Finishing application.
Advantages of the Single License Server Model
■ Because all license management takes place on a single server, you have
just one point of administration and one point of failure.
■ Of the two license server models, this configuration requires the least
amount of maintenance.
