3. In the License Server field, enter the name or address of the server where Application
Manager gets the floating license.
4. In the Backup Server (optional) field, enter the address or name of the server that is to be
used when the main server is inaccessible for some reason.
5. Click Activate to activate the product.
The server addresses are saved each time you click Save or Activate. A client system with a
saved address can be used for creating a Master image which can then be deployed at any
number of additional client systems. If you save the license server address by clicking the Save
button or just pressing Enter, you do not have to activate the product manually. Once you launch
the application that you wanted to activate, it is activated automatically.
The floating license timeout period is 6 hours. If the application is closed, the license is expired
after the timeout period has passed and returns to the pool. If the application is running more
than 2.5 hours, the license server is checked for available licenses and if there is one, your
current license will be silently renewed, so you experience no interruption.
