Changing the floating license key usage order

In some cases, you might want to customize the order by which floating license keys are used by your installed packages.
About this task

For example, you might want to have a shared component in a package search for a specific license key first.

To change the default order for using license keys:
  1. In Installation Manager , click File > Open > Manage Licenses.
  2. Select a version of a package, and then select Configure license servers.
  3. Click Next > Next.
  4. On the License Usage Order page, add a shell-shared package to the list, if necessary.
    1. Click Add.
    2. Type the package name and version number.
    3. Click OK.
  5. Select a package name and then click Up or Down to set the check-out order of the floating license keys. The package name at the top of the list will request a floating license key for components first. If a license key is not available, then a license key is requested for the next package in the list.
  6. Click Finish.
