License Types
When you install Arbortext IsoDraw, you must specify the type of license you will be using. The licensing options are:
• Locked license
• Floating license, managed by a license server machine
• Both licensing types
Each licensing type is described below.
Locked License
A locked license enables you to run Arbortext IsoDraw on one authorized computer. The locked license is stored in a license file on that computer and is locked to that computer’s Host ID (also called the CPU ID; i.e., the physical address of the Ethernet adapter in the computer).
If you select Locked license during installation, you must specify the license file path.
Floating License
Allows multiple computers (license clients) on the network to run Arbortext IsoDraw concurrently—up to the total number of floating licenses available. The computers running Arbortext IsoDraw must be connected to the license server machine.
When you install Arbortext IsoDraw with a floating license, you must specify the communications port number and license server name (Host Name) in the form PORT@SERVERNAME; for example, 7788@aberdeen.
Before you install Arbortext IsoDraw with a floating license, verify the following with your network administrator:
• The port number your Arbortext IsoDraw system will use to communicate with the license server.
• The Host Name of the license server machine on your network.
• Installation of the PTC License Server: FLEXnet Publisher floating license management software on the license server.
You can download
PTC License Server: FLEXnet Publisher software from the Support site on PTC.com. (See
To Download PTC License Server: FLEXnet Publisher.) After the
PTC License Server: FLEXnet Publisher software is installed on the license server, it must be configured to recognize your
Arbortext IsoDraw computer as a floating license client. See the
FLEXnet Licensing End User Guide for license management software installation and configuration instructions. You can download this guide from the Reference Documents section of the PTC.com Arbortext Support Center website.

The license server can also have an Arbortext IsoDraw 7.3 floating license client installed on it. In this case, the license server name is the Host Name of the computer you are installing the Arbortext IsoDraw software on.

If you installed PTC License Server: FLEXnet Publisher license management software for Arbortext IsoDraw 7.0, 7.1, or 7.2, you can use this same license management software for Arbortext IsoDraw 7.3.

Both Licensing Types
Selecting Both licensing types during installation enables Arbortext IsoDraw to run with either a locked license or a floating license. You must configure both types of licenses; i.e., you must enter the license file path for the locked license and the PORT@SERVERNAME for the floating license. (See details in Locked License and Floating License.)
