Network licenses

If your Analyst's Notebook or iBase users have workstations that are usually connected to a network, you can configure a computer on that network to manage licenses and provide them to users dynamically. Network licenses offer more flexibility than standalone licenses.

For example, if you activate your entitlement to create ten network licenses, then each installation that's configured to use a network license consumes one while it's running, but releases it when it's not. You'll see a problem only if more than ten users try to use a network license at the same time.

If a user knows that they'll need to use the application when they're not connected to the network, they can borrow a license for a fixed period, and return it when they reconnect. A borrowed license reduces the allowed number of concurrent network users for the period of the lease.
