Floating licenses allow using ABViewer on several PCs that are connected to a TCP/IP network. The licenses are managed by the software CST Floating License Server that is free and is installed in case floating licenses are purchased.

The number of computers using ABViewer at the same time is restricted by the number of purchased floating licenses. When the software is started, it connects to CST Floating License Server and gets a license. The number of the available licenses at the server is decreased. After the program is closed, the license is returned to CST Floating License Server, and it becomes available for other computers.

CST Floating License Server supports the following Microsoft Windows OSs:

  • Windows Vista/7/8/10/11
  • Windows Server 2008/2008 R2/2012/2012 R2/2016/2019/2022

If computers in your company are connected to a single TCP/IP net and ABViewer will be used on several computers at different time, ordering a floating license will allow you saving money.
