You can have Vue 9 installed on all the computers of your network, while only a subset of these computers will actually run it at any given time. Each license can be used on multiple seats (but only one at a time): the License Server is responsible for issuing temporary licenses as they are requested. When a Vue 9 license is installed on the License Server, it is not linked to the computer using it, but to the License Server computer itself. This is the best option for studios that use several computers in a network, because registration and license management will be centralized using the e-on License Server application. In Vue 8, there no longer is a distinction between nodelocked and floating licenses. A license automatically becomes floating when it is installed on a License Server. You cannot install the same license on a specific computer (nodelocked license) as well as on a License Server (floating license). The E-on License sever can now also be run as a service, avoiding the need of logging onto a user account to launch it. The E-on License Server is made of 2 applications: The core license server that will handle all the network access' and will correspond with the Vue application requesting the license. The License Server Controller, which you can install on any machine on your network. This controller will allow you to manage all your Vue Licenses from anywhere. You don't even have to have the controller installed on the same machine hosting the License Server Core application.
