Chapter 2 Installing PowerDesigner


Standalone seat - Local license

Definition

A local license is designed to be used without a license server. Local licenses are also called un-served licenses. A local license is dedicated to a given machine and cannot be used on other workstations.

When you select the Standalone seat - Local license installation option you have to load the license file to authorize PowerDesigner on your machine. License files can be downloaded from the Sybase Product Download Center. For more information about the Sybase Product Download Center, see the "Requesting a License from Sybase Product Download Center" section, in the "Managing PowerDesigner Licenses" chapter in the General Features Guide .

Note that all PowerDesigner packages can be installed on your machine when you select this installation option. You can evaluate these packages in trial mode for 15 days after installation. However, only authorized packages will actually work beyond the trial period.

Business case

Local licenses are more convenient in smaller design teams, when you do not have many licenses and do not want to setup a license server. However this configuration requires that you activate the licenses for each machine and implies that you do not have centralized control over your licenses.

For more information about this license type in SySAM, you can look at the following Web address http://sybooks.sybase.com/nav/detail.do?docset=833 .
