If a server is unreachable you are warned that the license is expired but you still can continue
working with the Editor Application with all its options activated until you close it.
If server is accessible but there are no licenses available you will be warned. Clicking OK closes
the Editing Application.
If the connection to the floating server is lost while working with Application Manager, you are
warned about the connection problem; however, you can keep Application Manager launched.
You can "borrow" the floating license for some time, for example, if you need to work with the
application on another machine or if you do not have an Internet connection. The Checkout
option is shown on the dialog for the selected product only if you have a reservation made for
your computer Device ID on the license server.
Select the Checkout check box - the Duration drop-down field appears. Select the duration of the
checkout period and click Activate.
Now your license is checked out and you can start working with the application.
As soon as the checkout period ends, a grace period starts. During this period, the license can be
used one more time within one day after the expiration of the checkout period.
To use the editing application, launch it - a floating license is automatically consumed.
To review the license details:
1. Open Application Manager.
2. Go to the Licensing tab.
3. Click Details.
