Dear all,

As in subject: is possible to plug the USB License Key on a server and share the PCB Library License at all the internal network?

We use this rule for other software (for Example also the Cadence OrCAD PCB) and the first client that open the software takes the use of license.

Those way in our opinion is the best to maintain the USB Key License on only a computer and to avoid the continuous "put and remove" of the USB Key.

Thank you

Not the Single User key, if you get a Network Key, it will allow licenses to get checked out over the network via the License Manager. The Single User Key must be plugged in locally on the console/computer where the Library Expert runs. We also have a non-USB Key type license (SL) some use on Virtual Servers, but unlike the USB Keys, the SL License is not perpetual.
