1.4.4.6.  Lending " tab page

On the Checkout [Checkouts] tab page, you can administratively determine whether users are allowed to check out/borrow floating licenses. Borrowing takes place in the respective module under ? -menu -> Licenses (F9) -> Checkout tab page. See Section 5.5.1.5, “ Checkout " tab page”" tab page.

This reduces the number of floating licenses available for the predetermined loan period. The borrowed license can then be used on the computer in question until the end of the borrowing period. The license is blocked on the license server until the specified loan period has expired.

So a Floating license can be used as quasi "nodelocked" in a certain time period (on a journey for example).

The right to checkout Floating licenses can optionally be restricted for single users.
