If all the floating licenses are used in the same local network the installation procedure of floating licenses is the same as for the Named User licenses. Within the same network the license management is done automatically by communication between the instances of that are connected to the same local network and that run at the same time. Any new instance of that is started after the number of running instances is equal with the number of purchased licenses will display a warning message and will disable the open file action thus becoming unusable. If the floating licenses are used on machines connected to different local networks a separate license server must be started and the licenses deployed on it. The license server is downloaded as a separate application from the website. For more details and a procedure for the installation of the license server please see the section about floating licenses in the User Manual.
