Trusted Storage License Groups

License rights in the license server’s trusted storage can be served to FlexEnabled products on end-user machines or transferred to other license servers. These licenses are divided into three groups. The distribution of licenses into these groups is determined by the software publisher whose FlexEnabled products you license.

•

Concurrent licenses: License rights available network-wide from a license server system that can be shared by a predetermined number of simultaneous instances of the FlexEnabled application. These are similar to the license rights within a license file served by a license server.

Concurrent licenses can be stored in both license files and trusted storage.

•

Detachable licenses: License rights that serve a dual purpose; that is, when a system is on the network and can access a license server, detachable license rights function as concurrent license rights.

However, these licenses can also be securely detached onto an end-user machine for a certain amount of time. This means that detachable licenses can be used to run an application on a computer that is no longer connected to the license server, such as a laptop being used at home.

•

Activatable licenses: License rights that have been delivered to a license server system, but not yet made available for checkout—after being activated on an end-user machine, the rights are available for checkout by the FlexEnabled application on that end-user machine.

Activatable licenses are stored only in trusted storage, not in license files. Counts for activatable licenses are in terms of products, not features.
