Installing License manager Two types of installations are possible for the license manager: ■ Standalone Installation ■ Network Installation The sections below describe the two installation types and explain the installation procedure. Standalone Installation To install the licensing for a single user on an isolated computer that will not depend on access to a network, install the License Manager directly on that computer. Network Installation In a network installation, you install the License Manager on a computer that is accessible over a network, referred to as a license server. In this configuration, multiple users can run the Cadence products at the same time across the network by accessing the license and file server. You may have up to three license servers running simultaneously. These are referred to as redundant license servers. The licensing system remains operational as long as any two of the three License Managers are functioning properly.
