Floating licenses

While rare, sometimes these licenses can conflict with any current ones you have on your system. If your client machine does not connect to the server based on the server name, try replacing the server name with the IP address of the server instead in the license file.

You can easily do this via the License Manager or via a text editor. Check logs and their paths: Read the logs from Silhouette and from your server. They will tell you all about what is happening to your machine. Virtual machines, remote desktop access, or other network environments used to access software will require floating licenses. Floating seat licenses are best for larger organizations where multiple users will need access to the software at different points in a project.
