A floating license lets multiple people within an organization use RVS in a shared environment.
Floating licenses work running an RVS License Server on a networked machine accessible by all computers that have RVS installed.
Access to floating licenses is managed by TCP/IP connection to license server software, which we provide for you to install on a Windows or Linux server.
When a user runs RVS, a core license token and the relevant plugin license tokens are requested from the license server. When the user stops using RVS, the tokens are returned to the server. After being returned to the server, a license token is held in a checked-out state for a specified ‘linger time’ (the default linger time is 10 minutes).
If one or more of the required license tokens aren’t available, either because they are in use or in ‘check-out’ time, the user won’t be able to run RVS.
