Floating Server
The Floating Server allows you to leverage LicenseSpring’s licensing features in an on-premise environment. It can operate both online and offline, supporting a variety of licensing models. This makes it ideal for organizations requiring flexible license management, especially in environments with limited internet access or when high control over license distribution is necessary.
The Floating Server facilitates the creation and management of multiple licenses, each with its own configuration. This allows you to tailor licensing to your product’s needs. The server supports various license types, including:
- Floating License Registrations: Dynamically allocate licenses across multiple users or devices.
- License Consumptions: Track and manage how licenses are consumed across your organization.
- Feature Registrations: Control feature-specific access by enabling or disabling certain features.
- Feature Consumptions: Monitor feature usage and consumption, enabling granular control over product functionality.
Each license and feature registration can be customized to meet the specific needs of your organization or product offering.
The Floating Server can be deployed in various environments to suit your needs. Choose from:
