Restricting use of floating licenses

If you have a small number of floating licenses for a particular product and a large number of JetStream users, you may want to restrict use of these floating licenses to a small group of users. To do this:

1. First, as the NavisWorks License server will need to be restarted, get everybody who is accessing the server to close JetStream and go to the Services dialog (from Administration Tools) and stop the NavisWorks Licensing service.

2. In the License Manager, go to the Current Licenses tab, click on the serial number of the floating product and click Properties

3. There should be a a semi-colon (;) seperated list of all the PCs that have access to the floating licenses in the text box called User machine locking . If no names are listed, then the floating licenses are available to all users. If any names are listed, the floating licenses are only available to the listed PCs. You can list more PC names than you have floating licenses.

4. Click OK on the dialog to close it and close the License Manager.

5. Restart the NavisWorks Licensing service in the Windows Services panel, on the server.
