product key are used for a single seat. Like a multi-seat stand-alone installation,
you do not use the Network License Manager to manage product licensing,
but installation, registration, and activation occurs on each workstation.
If you choose one of the Stand-Alone installation types, you can proceed to
the section
Distributing the Program on page 12.
Choose a License Server Model
If you chose the Network License option, you need to decide which license
server model to use to distribute the product licenses.
TIP If you are deploying a stand-alone or multi-seat stand-alone installation type,
you do not use a license server model. Proceed to Distributing the Program on
page 12.
For the network installation, use one of the following license server models:
■ Single license server model . The Network License Manager is installed on
a single server, so license management and activity is restricted to this
server. A single license file represents the total number of licenses available
on the server.
■ Distributed license server model. Licenses are distributed across more than
one server. A unique license file is required for each server. To create a
distributed license server, you must run the Network License Manager on
each server that is part of the distributed server pool.
■ Redundant license server model. You use three servers to authenticate a
single license file. One server acts as the master, while the other two provide
backup if the master server fails. With this configuration, licenses continue
to be monitored and issued as long as at least two servers are still functional.
The license file on all three servers is the same. You must install the
Network License Manager on each server.
Each of these license server models is described in detail in the Network Licensing
Guide. It is strongly recommended that you read that guide before you deploy
the program. You can find the Network Licensing Guide by clicking the Read
the Documentation selection, the Documentation link at the lower left corner
of the Deployment wizard, or in the Help system.
