Node-locked and Floating Licenses

Node-locked licenses are created only for a specific system.

Floating licenses are licenses that can be shared by multiple users on multiple systems. A Rational license server controls use of the floating licenses.

Floating licenses allow anyone on your network to use Rational Rose for UNIX/Linux as long as a license is available. Thus, the number of licenses that you purchase determines the maximum number of users who can use Rational Rose for UNIX/Linux concurrently.
