What is the difference between a stand-alone license and a
network license?
Stand-alone licensed products are registered and activated to an individual workstation. While the
software can be installed on multiple systems in your facility, the license only allows one system to be
operational. The Portable License Utility can be used if a license needs to be transferred to another
system. If you need to run more systems, you need to purchase more stand-alone licensed products, or
consider converting to network licenses.
Network licensed products rely on the Network License Manager to keep track of software licenses. The
software can be installed and run on multiple systems, up to the maximum number of licenses you’ve
purchased. The Network License Manager "checks out" licenses until they are all in use. No further
systems can run the program until a license is "checked in." If you need to run more systems, you can
purchase additional licenses for the Network License Manager to maintain.
What is the benefit to using a network licensed version of
the software?
Network licensed products are recommended for large drafting/design facilities, classrooms, and lab
environments. The main advantage is that you can install products on more systems than the number of
licenses you have purchased (for example, purchasing 25 licenses but installing on 40 workstations). At
any one time, products will run on the maximum number of systems for which you have licenses. This
means you get a true floating license. If software needs to be run on more systems, additional licenses
can be purchased.
Registration and activation occurs only once and the licenses are maintained on your Network License
Server.
