Using Floating License Offline

Hi all,

I use CCS V5 with a floating license. Now I need the CCS V5 on a laptop without  a continuouse connection to the license server. Can I do that?

In the documentation of the FlexNet server I found the "Mobile Licensing" Feature. Is the CCS licens ready for mobile licensing?

Mobile Licensing
End users often want to use applications on computers that do not have a continuous connection to a license
server. These situations include:
• Working on a laptop
• Using a computer both at work and at home
• Working from several different computers not connected to a license server
FlexNet Publisher supports licenses that allow one of several kinds of mobile licensing:
• Node-locked to a laptop
• Node-locked to a FlexNet ID dongle
• Node-locked to a FlexNet ID dongle with FLOAT_OK keyword
• License borrowing with BORROW keyword
• Node-locked to a user name
• Fulfilled from a prepaid license pool
• Optionally when provided by the publisher, Distribution of Node-Locked Licenses to Networked Machines
using trusted storage can be used.
You should use license rehosting if an enterprise wants to move a license without using one of these methods. Th
software publisher must generate a new node-locked license file for each new client computer. Rehosting require
administrative overhead because the software publisher must be involved with each move.

thanks Jens

  • Jens,

    No need to do anything special.  As you have already connected to the server in the past when you go off the network it will let you continue to use CCS.  You just see "unlicensed" in the status bar at the bottom.  CCS will work find though.
