Network and Workstation licenses

Network (floating) licenses

Network licenses may be served from a central license server to machines on private networks.

LAL (Local Access Licenses) are network licenses. They may be floated on private networks to serve one studio, possibly with multiple offices located up to 100km apart.

GAL (Global Access Licenses) are network licenses. They may be floated on private networks to serve multiple studios with the same ownership located anywhere in the world. These licenses are have the most flexibility.

Non-floating licenses

Workstation licenses are standalone (node-locked) licenses. This means that they may only be used on the machine itself and not floated across the network. If you need another machine to use the license, you will need to move the license from the current machine to the machine needed. This may be done up to 10 times a year.
