License Dialog (Node Locked License)

Type

This refers to kind of license you have. This could be Demo License, Timed License or Perpetual License. The License Type will appear as Timed License if your license allows you to run the product for a certain number of days as defined by your license grant.  If your license grant allows you to run the product in perpetuity the License Type will appear as Perpetual License.  
 
If you have not acquired a license for the product or if you run out of days left on your timed license grant the License Type will appear as Demo License.  If this happens, the software will switch to operating in demo mode.

Model

This tells you the license model you are currently running.  Please refer to our product activation and licensing guides that we make available to all users.

Cloud

This license has a lease time of 8 hours. If the license has not been in use for 8 hours then it becomes available for use on other machines. This license needs public internet access for activation and periodic renewal of the license lease. This is the default license model all users will be supplied with.

Network Locked

This license is a multiple floating license that is locked to a network. Like the Floating license above it also needs public internet access for activation and periodic renewal of the license lease. The advantage of this license is that clients can be locked to a network thereby preventing inadvertent removal or theft of license(s).

Network

This license uses a LAN Daemon built on top of CentOS 7.0 for serving licenses inside of a host network. This license is used only for completely dark sites such as military and highly sensitive sites. It is not normally available for commercial or educational institutions.
