Reserving a Floating License

There may be times when you need to reserve or lock a floating license. For example, you could lock a floating license if you want to use your floating license offline while traveling.

To reserve/lock a floating license, follow these steps:

  1. Important: The license server must be configured by the server administrator to allow license locking. See License Server Management and Statistics - Configuration.
  2. Select Lock floating license from the Preferences dialog box (go to Window (Eclipse on macOSX) and choose Preferences > Oxygen XML Author Eclipse plugin.
  3. Click OK.
    Your floating license is now locked. You can use the same action to unlock the license or you can contact your system administrator to unlock it.
    Note:

    A locked floating license uses one license from the license pool for the entire period it remains locked.
