Floating license how does it work

How does it work

As we have right now its associated to a unique IP address

Is there any way to have floating licenses on a server so user can check them out 

or do they always have to be associated to the IP address.

I am just trying to see if there is a better way to do this which is also secure.

    From what I know, you would need a server set up to act as a license server. That would dole out licenses to users, who have to check them in and out. 


    Example: License server has 3 floating licenses.

    User 1 checks out a license.

    User 2 checks out a license.

    User 3 checks out a license.

    User 4 needs a license. User 4 has to wait until User 1, 2, or 3 check their license back in. 

     

    There's a lot of good documentation here.
