Activation with a Floating License
This section is applicable only to Media Composer.
The Floating License model allows you to purchase “packs” (pools) of licenses to deploy at a
single site. One System ID and license can run any number of systems simultaneously.
Licenses are consumed only when in use, so that additional clients can connect and use a
license as it becomes available.
“Consuming” and “releasing” licenses
You “consume” licenses by connecting to the server and decreasing the overall number of
licenses by 1 per client. You “release” licenses back to server and increase the overall
number of licenses back by 1 per client.
Licenses can be “checked out” for a certain period of time until the checkout term is
complete. To be able to check out a license, you must first deactivate the Avid Editing
Application.
To activate the product, do the following:
1. With Application Manager open, go to the Licensing tab.
2. On the list of applications, find the application you want to activate. Choose Floating in
the Select activation method drop-down list.
