Perpetual

The training license pool typically contains licenses which do have an expiration date (timed floating licenses) and are valid for any version of the software released prior to the maintenance expiration date on the license. If the License String has not yet been entered on this machine, selecting Perpetual will auto populate the License String when signed in.

Note: It is necessary to enable outbound communications on ports 5053 and one additional port, as found in your LP360 Portal (Admin -> Organization) or as specified when you receive your License String, through any firewalls for the product to communicate with the cloud hosted license server. These ports are normally open by default on most firewalls.

Under Available Licenses on the Activation Tab of the LP360 License Manager, the pulldown menu has a list of your available license types. Choose your desired license type from the list. See the License Tab of License Manager for your complete list of perpetual licenses.

If you select a floating license, you will be checking out a license. Select roam to operate and keep the license on the machine even when not connected to the license server, you must input the number of days you wish to keep the license. The default number of days for a roaming license is 30. You can always check the license back in before the 30 days is over. Click Check Out Floating License to finish activating the license on your machine.
