Chapter 2 Installing PowerDesigner


Standalone seat - Served

Definition

A served standalone license is designed to be provided by a server. A served standalone license is dedicated to a given machine and cannot be used by other designers.

This configuration requires that an administrator installs a license server in your organization (see the "Setting up a License Server" section). The server must be installed before you install the client machines because it will provide the appropriate license to authorize PowerDesigner on your machine.

Business case

Served standalone licenses are used in larger design teams, when you want to prevent users from setting up their machine with an Internet connection for downloading license files. In this mode, the license is activated once by the administrator and not for each end user. The connection to a license server may also be considered to be more secure.

You have full control over license usage using the server mode.
