Floating licensing, also known as concurrent licensing or network licensing, is a software licensing approach in which a limited number of licenses for a software application are shared among a larger number of users over time. When an authorized user wishes to run the application, they request a license from a central license server. Floating licensing also known as concurrent licensing allows many users to share a limited number of licenses. All users may have software installed but only limited number of users can run software concurrently. Floating licensing requires a server application to handle license requests and control license.
