Chapter 2 Installing PowerDesigner
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 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.
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 in the "Managing PowerDesigner Licenses" chapter in the General Features Guide .
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.
