Select a License Type (Optional)

When you set up your deployment, you choose the type of installation to deploy based on the type of software license you purchased: stand-alone or network. You also select the network license server model you want to use to distribute product licenses.

NoteDepending on the type of option you choose on the configuration page, stand-alone or network license, note that you must use the same type of installation for all those products in your deployment session. If you select products that do not support the type of license you purchased, you will not be able to activate those products.

Specify the license type to use during deployment

Stand-alone license (a single serial number for a single seat): For a stand-alone license, you install, register, and activate the program on each workstation.
Network license: With this type of installation, you install the program to workstations with the files and registry entries that allow the program to communicate with the Network License Manager. You also define the configuration of the Network License Manager so that the licenses can be accessed. Workstations running the program based on a network installation do not require individual activation. Licensing of this program is managed by at least one license server.

To deploy a stand-alone license

While creating a deployment, on the Select the License Type page, select Stand-alone License.
Click Next.

Specify the license server model during deployment

If you choose the Network License option, you need to decide which license server model to use to distribute your product licenses - single, distributed or redundant license server model. For more information about license server models, see Choose a License Server Model.

If you are deploying a stand-alone or multi-seat stand-alone installation type, you do not use a license server model.

To deploy a network license using a single license server model

While creating a deployment, on the Select the License Type page, select the Network license option.
Select Single License Server as the license server model you want to use with the Network License Manager.
If you have already used the Network License Manager to create a license server model, you must select the same license server model in this step. If you have not yet used the Network License Manager to create a license server model, make sure that you select the same settings in the Network License Manager that you choose here.
Enter the server name of the server that will run the Network License Manager, or click the Browse button to locate the server. Click Next.

To deploy a network license using a distributed license server model

While creating a deployment, on the Select the License Type page, select the Network license option.
Select Distributed License Server as the license server model you want to use with the Network License Manager.
If you have already used the Network License Manager to create a license server model, you must select the same license server model in this step. If you have not yet used the Network License Manager to create a license server model, make sure that you select the same settings in the Network License Manager that you choose here.
Enter the name of one of the servers that will run the Network License Manager, or click the Browse button to locate the server. Click Add to add the server to the Server Pool. Once all the servers are added to the Server Pool list, use the Move Up and Move Down buttons to arrange the servers in the order you want them to be searched by a user's workstation. You must enter at least two servers. Click Next.

To deploy a network license using a redundant license server model

While creating a deployment, on the Select the License Type page, select the Network License option.
Select Redundant License Server as the license server model you want to use with the Network License Manager.
If you have already used the Network License Manager to create a license server model, you must select the same license server model in this step. If you have not yet used the Network License Manager to create a license server model, make sure that you select the same settings in the Network License Manager that you choose here.
