Chapter 4 Managing PowerDesigner Licenses
A served floating license is requested from a shared pool of licenses each time you start PowerDesigner. The license server manages the pool of licenses.
This type of license is not dedicated to a given machine and needs to be requested and returned to the license server after use. This configuration also requires that an administrator installs a license server in your organization (more information on how to setup a license server, see the "Setting up a License Server" section in the "Installing PowerDesigner" chapter in the Installation Guide ).
A floating license can also be used in mobile mode. When you need to work disconnected from the license server, you can borrow a floating license for 30 days and work offline during that period. See the "Mobile mode" section for more information.
Served floating licenses are also used in large design team when you have more users than licenses but not all users use PowerDesigner at the same time, they can share a common pool of licenses. The floating license solution can be better suited to this kind of organization.
