The license key is a sequence of numbers and letters, stored in a plain text
file, that unlocks Keylight. License keys can be created for a particular
computer enabling the plug-in to run only on that computer. These are
called node locked licenses. We also supply floating licenses that will unlock
Keylight on any networked computer connected to a machine running the
Foundry license server.
Tools to install license keys, manage floating licenses, and diagnose license
problems can be downloaded from our web site,
