Activating with a Floating License
The Floating License model allows you to purchase “packs” (pools) of licenses to use at a single
site. One system ID and license can run a 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.
To activate with a Floating License:
1. Click the Application Manager icon in your Toolbar (Windows) or Dock (Macintosh).
2. With the Application Manager tool open, click Licensing.
