License Management for Users
CodeMeter allows the user of your software to reserve licenses for specific machines, users, or user groups in
the active directory. By doing so, the user can make sure that only authorized personnel can access the available
licenses. This can prevent unauthorized people from “hogging” licenses, especially when the protected software
and the CodeMeter Runtime Service are both kept on a terminal server.
The user can allocate floating network licenses flexibly and directly to named staff members. For example, ten
available licenses could include three licenses for the support team, four licenses for the development team, and a
further three licenses for free use. The access can also be limited to specific machines, users, or groups. A defined
maximum number states how many of these machines or people can use the licenses.
With the detailed information about usage times, the user can monitor how licenses are used and detect any
bottlenecks or unused reserves in the available resources.
