Licensing for engineering software can be node-locked, named-user, or floating (also called concurrent-use). Floating is most popular because licenses can be shared. However, the Vendor puts a restriction on how much sharing can occur. Floating licenses can be WAN (wide area network) or LAN (local area network). WAN can cover a country, a continent, orContinue reading “Software Audit Compliance & Types of Licenses”
