====== Set up a local license ======

----

Here's how to set up a local license for your copy of #@IC_HTML@#.

The following describes how to make a server license available on your network.

**Local licensing vs. server licensing** - A license file is issued for a computer specified by the customer. The license file can map a single license (one seat) or a multiple license (two seats and more) for a specific feature set. Licenses are generally multi-user licenses (floating licenses), i.e. the license can be used without being tied to a specific location. If the license file is issued for the computer on which #@IC_HTML@# itself is executed, it is a **local license** from its point of view. If computers in the network (clients) obtain licenses from this computer (server), it is a **server license** from their point of view.\\ 
 **See** Installation > [[en:infra-convert:user:installation:licfloat|Server Licensing]]

**Licensing Service** - Licensing tasks are handled by **ELIAS Licensing Service**, a utility. A detailed description can be found in the administrator manual.\\ 
 **See** Administrator's Manual > Installation > [[en:infra-convert:dev:license_service|License service]]

**Frequently Asked Questions** - Frequently asked questions about license service are answered here: More > Frequently asked questions and answers > [[en:infra-convert:faq#why_is_the_license_server_not_accessible|Why is the license server not accessible?]]
