Hi,

A big feature that our clients would love, is being able to borrow a network floating licence for a given amount of time.

So if a guy in the office needs to go out onsite, he can take his licence with him, removing it from the available pool of licences until the given return date, or until he is back in the office and returns the licence to the server.

This would save us having to give out extra licences to some customers, who can borrow out the software that our software runs inside and use in the field.

Thanks

The difficulty with this feature is how to implement it securely. The problem is that since the temporary license would have to be generated on the license server (which runs on the customers computer) there is no 100% sure way of preventing someone finding and replicating the code that generates the temporary license to generate them themselves. Or alternatively finding where the server stores the number of temporary licenses issued and removing this to reset the licenses available.

If you are willing to accept the decreased license security then you can probably achieve what you want by modifying the source code we provide for the sample floating license server and client.
