Floating Licenses
LOCKOUT-PRO
TM
Graphical Procedure Writing Software uses “floating licenses” for enterprise-wide
installations. Here’s how floating licenses work:
• Your organization purchases a specific number of “floating licenses” that are not assigned to
specific individuals or computers.
• You install
LOCKOUT-PRO
TM
Graphical Procedure Writing Software on an unlimited
number of computers in your organization. However, at any given moment, the number of users
with the application open on their PCs cannot exceed the number of floating licenses.
Note: It is a good practice to always exit out of the LOCKOUT-PRO
TM
application when
you won’t be using it for a while. This releases the license for another user.
• If you launch LOCKOUT-PRO
TM
when all “floating licenses” are in use, you will receive a
message that the maximum number of licensed users has been reached. When this happens,
you can still view and print procedures, but you cannot modify templates or customize defaults.
Note: Floating licenses are not applicable to the option of viewing and printing procedures
via a web browser. The number of users accessing procedures via their browsers is not
limited. (For details, see Chapter 4: Viewing & Printing Procedures with a Web Browser on
page 4-10.)
