Licensing Options
AdminStudio 2020 | 19.0
Two different licensing models are available for AdminStudio:
| • | Node-locked licensing—With this model, the product license is tied to a specific user and machine. This model is the traditional option and the one that is most often purchased. |
A node-locked license for AdminStudio requires a product activation code to activate the product.
If you are using the node-locked type of license, it is your responsibility to maintain your license on your machine. Sharing this type of license between multiple users does not comply with Flexera Software products’ end-user license agreements (EULAs).
| • | Self-hosted licensing—With this model, the product license is tied to a specific user and machine. |
A self-hosted license for AdminStudio requires a Flexera Software-generated license file for the machine on which you install AdminStudio.
If you are using the self-hosted type of license, it is your responsibility to maintain your license on your machine. Sharing this type of license between multiple users does not comply with Flexera Software products' end-user license agreements (EULAs).
| • | Concurrent licensing—This model enables sharing or floating of AdminStudio licenses among a maximum number of simultaneous users; it is also sometimes called floating licensing. |
If your organization purchases concurrent licenses for a Flexera Software product, you need to connect your product to the licensing server that your organization sets up.
Important:AdminStudio concurrent licenses are available for Service Providers only.
