Floating-User License

A Floating-User License allows a product to be used by multiple users on a multiple number of computers. Floating-User Licenses are available for most Keil Software products.

Floating-User Licenses require a file server that hosts a Floating License File (created from the µVision3 License Management Dialog by your system administrator or IT department).

After running the SETUP program to install a Keil Software product on a workstation, you must license that product by registering your CID and Floating License Code on the Floating-User License form on the Keil Website. After licensing the product, you will receive a LIC via e-mail which must be entered under the Floating-User Tab of the µVision3 License Management Dialog.

There are two distinct steps to configuring and activating a Floating-User License:

Creating a License File
This is done only once by the system administrator on a file server that is accessible by each workstation. The UNC to this file is provided to each user for licensing.
Installing or Adding a LIC
This is done on each workstation where the software is installed.

Once you have Installed a Floating-User License on a workstation you may:

Check out and check in licenses for an extended period.
Review the list of active license users.
