Best License Model?

[GYC-T]

Hi All.

Suppose my company has 3 locations: Asia, Europe, USA.

Each location has 'n' LV developers.

Because of time difference, only 'n' developers will be working at the same time so there's no point in having 3*n licenses, although there are 3*n LV installations, one on each of 3*n PC's.

Please help me understand what the correct NI/LV license model is.

I would call it "floating licenses", but I cannot find these words in NI's website.

Thanks.

It sounds like what you are looking for is a Concurrent license, either managed or unmanaged.

NI has a floating license model where active users checkout and check back in licenses needed dynamically. This ensures you optimize the licenses available.
