The global territories permitting license sharing from SNLs are: the Americas, Europe, Japan, and Asia-Pacific.
Clients accessing the SNL license server must be located in the same global territory (defined below) as the server.The network on which the SNL is installed may only serve licenses to client machines of the same legal corporate entity.
There are three important provisions that govern and limit the “floating” nature of SNL licenses: Typically with SNL, administrators will install the software for every potential user, knowing that SNL will monitor concurrent usage to ensure that the number of concurrent users does not exceed the number of purchased licenses. Once a user closes SOLIDWORKS or related product or Add-in, the license is immediately released back to the server for another user to use. When a user starts SOLIDWORKS or any related product or Add-in, it checks with the server to see if licenses are either in-use or available. SNL uses a proven and reliable client/server distributed licensing approach, where access to the software is granted by a license server installed on your network that contains all of your entitlements. Like fuel-efficient cars or appliances, SNL or “floating” licenses allow you to stretch your investment across your community of users.
Product activation after installation for Standalone licenses. Once activated, you do not need to be online to use your software. Activation is a onetime process which requires that you have internet or email access to complete the process. It uses an “Activate/Deactivate” mechanism to entitle the software for use after installation, or to move the license entitlement to another device such as a home, laptop or mobile computer or a new user all while ensuring only one license is in use at any one time. Standalone licenses, as the name implies, are intended for an individual user of SOLIDWORKS or any related product such as Simulation, Composer or Electrical. Today we will examine the two choices within perpetual licensing from SOLIDWORKS – which are Standalone and SNL (SolidNetWork Licenses). We also looked at SOLIDWORKS commitment to offer and support perpetual licenses well into the foreseeable future. In our last blog article, we examined the difference between perpetual and term licenses and how you might leverage both license types to meet all your license entitlement needs.
