Floating Licenses
A floating license entitles anyone on the same network to use the licensed
software, up to the numeric limit specified in the license file. You must
configure a license server in order to use floating licenses. These licenses
require the license server manager daemon (FLEXnet Publisher lmadmin)
and the Keysight daemon (agilent.exe) to be running in order to count the
concurrent usage of the licenses.
Floating licenses are further subdivided into local and remote licenses.
Local licenses are stored in the licensing folder and in secure storage;
remote licenses are kept in a “Remote Licenses” sub folder, and are not
stored in SecureStorage. Floating licenses are installed on two different
host machines, the application host and the server host. A license is
considered to be local if there is a SERVER line in the license with a host
name that refers to the host where the license is installed. Conversely, a
license is considered to be remote if there is a SERVER line in the license
that has a host name that is different from the host where the license is
installed.
Module-Specific Licenses
Module-specific licenses are a specialized type of license that enables a
specific module of a modular instrument (such as a PXI or AXIe module).
The module-specific license resides on the controller and is bound to both
the controller (typically a PC) and the module; the controller by means of
the HostID, and the module itself by means of the module serial number
which is embedded in the feature name for the license. Module-specific
licenses may be time-perishable.
