Floating licences...simple explanation needed
I may be working with a new customer who uses SolidWorks 2011 whereas I'm on SW 2008. He reckons it should be no problem...he will install it on
my machine and when I go to use it will contact Solidworks and if there are spare licences available I will be able to use it.
Is it really that simple?.....bearing in mind I won't be on his network.........seems too easy, logical and sensible.
Cheers,
Alan

I would have thought you would need to be on the same network to recieve a license
Solidworks Licensing
BMW 7 Resource
Bures Pit anyone?

you can borrow licences from the server, but then that licence is not available for anyone else,...

This will only be possible if the company you are getting the licence from has a Network Licence set up on their account. Its something like £1200 to
convert standard to network. If this has been done then yes you can migrate a licence off it, but you will need initial connection to the server that
their program is installed on.
Just gone through this process at my work.
