About licenses
License Manager displays licenses by product. If a license authorizes multiple products, the number of seats
permitted by the license is applied in full to each authorized product. For example, a license authorizing
five seats and two products authorize five seats for each product.
The following license types are available:
• Flexible Quantity. Offers full, unlimited functionality for an unlimited time and for a specific number of
seats purchased, up to 50,000.
• Activation Key Agreement. Offers full, unlimited functionality for an unlimited time. This license represents
an expected upper limit on the number of seats, up to 50,000.
• Subscription. Is a time-limited, full-functionality license. The key can indicate unlimited use for a specified
period of time or a limited number of seats for that same period of time. The basic time unit encoded
in the key is 30 days.

seats. The license determines the number of days the key enables the product to function. The days

run. Demo keys can authorize up to 255 seats for up to 255 days.
