# Floating

In the realm of software license management, a floating license offers the flexibility for multiple users to access a software application simultaneously, subject to a specified maximum limit of active users. This concurrent licensing model is enhanced by features that allow users to "borrow" a license for offline use and "release" it back to the available pool, optimizing resource allocation and usage.
