Title: Question about FairSaas floating license....
Post by: Riffmaster on 2015-03-02, 14:29:57: First of all sorry if this question has already been raised in any other previous posts.

We are currently looking initially to purchase two floating licences of Corona, which will be used extensively everyday by our small visualisation team. However we are interested in purchasing more floating licenses in the near future for more casual shared usage throughout the studio.

Is this something the fairSaas licence will allow? I understand the licencing is done over the internet? and verified every few days?

What happens if one person only needs it for a few hours and then another person would like to use the same licence. How would could these licences be dynamically released? For instance most of our software is on a network licence, if we need to release a licence, simply closing the application would do this. Would this be the same for a Corona licence?

Any thoughts or suggestions welcome.

this is handled automagically - just make sure you have the FairSaaS licenses, your computers or license servers are connected to internet, and that you have purchased enough licenses (at least same number as the number of workstations you intend to render with Corona (including material previews) at once).

I would like to know if the FairSaaS works as the Adobe licensing system with log in and pwd.
Within Adobe I can log from my Mac and activate the license. Also I can log from my Windows PC.
With Adobe CC we can have 2 license active but If I try to log from another workstation the Adobe license manager will unauthorize the previous two installation.
I can do this all the time, I can authorize 2 pcs, or 1 Mac and 1 pc, my Surface tablet when I travel, etc.
Does the FairSaaS work similar? May I log from whatever workstation I want?

regards

Anyways, I'll be using v1 on my desktop comp and when my wife needs to use the computer, I'll continue on my laptop.
