What are the differences between named, computer, and floating licenses?

Here's a short recap of all license types:

  • The named license is a license that is linked to a specific end-user via its e-mail address.
  • The computer license is a license that is linked to a specific computer and not to a physical person.
  • The floating license is a license that can be used on as many computers as required but only permits one concurrent use of the software. 

Further details and limitations of each license type are described in our License Agreement.
