Description
License Server supports both Named User and Seat based licenses. However, mixing these license types for the same product name in a single server can lead to unintended behavior. Instead of enforcing separate Named/Seat limits, the License Server may treat the total pool of licenses as a set of floating licenses without individual user or machine control.
Solution
- Understand how each license type is intended to be used:
- Named Users:

- Seats:
- Assigned per machine.
- Any user on that machine can run the software (unless specifically excluded).
- Named Users:
- Recommended configuration when separate controls are required:
- Deploy two License Server instances, for example:
- Server A: manages Named User licenses for a given product.
- Server B: manages Seat licenses for the same product.
- Both servers can run on the same physical machine in different folders and ports.
- Deploy two License Server instances, for example:
