Mechanism
The Floating License Server operates as a dynamic mechanism for allocating and sharing licenses across users utilizing Enterprise Architect and other Sparx Systems’ products. This mechanism optimizes license usage by allocating licenses only when users access Enterprise Architect, releasing them back into the license pool upon application closure. This efficient sharing mechanism allows organizations to procure a reduced number of licenses, maximizing the utility of each license purchased.
Additionally, Sparx Systems introduced the Sparx Systems Key Store server, a longstanding tool enabling users to manage floating licenses for Enterprise Architect. In version 2.1 of Pro Cloud Server, the Floating License functionality of the ‘Keystore Service’ was seamlessly integrated and further enhanced within the Pro Cloud Server. This integration not only streamlined license management but also introduced support for SSL and IPv6, offering an improved and secure licensing mechanism for users.
