Server-based license management adds flexibility and makes available licenses that previously
would have been held by de-commissioned equipment. License management technology from
Macrovision, based on a FLEXnet™ Publisher license management model, provides the platform
for server-based licensing.
Capabilities that are authorized by licenses on this platform are
FLEXenabled products. In this platform, the license management server checks and then either
assigns or declines to assign a license in real time.
The total number of floating license keys that you need for any feature is the highest number that
you will ever want to have simultaneously in use. The proper placement of these keys and the
number and placement of fixed licenses are listed in
Table 18.
