Chapter 2 Installing PowerDesigner
You need a license server when you have selected to install a standalone served or a floating served license. The license server allows you to share and control licenses within a pool of users.
The license server controls license availability and allows you to use licenses as needed; in floating mobile mode the server also allows you to borrow and return licenses.
The license server also blocks use when all licenses are being used. However, it is possible to exceed the total number of purchased licenses by a 10% overdraft. This is to let your organization operate temporarily out of compliance in order to maintain day to day operations while obtaining new licenses and also to help you measure the new licenses needed to achieve compliance.
The installation of the license server is available on the PowerDesigner install CD-ROM.
License server and PowerDesigner application
