How Licenses Are Shared
A client workstation, through its IP address, can use a single license to run more than one Avid
client application concurrently. For example, a user can run both Media Composer and Interplay
Access while using a single Interplay Central license (Base or Advance). The Interplay Engine
manages access through the hostname of the workstation.
The license is not released from the client workstation until all applications that require a license
are closed.
n
To run Interplay Central and other applications concurrently with a single license, the client
workstation must be connected to the same LAN as the Interplay Central server. The client
workstation must have a correct DNS entry and the ICS server must be configured to resolve the
client workstation’s hostname.
