Managing Named License Pools
FlexNet Embedded License Server includes named license pools as a mechanism to allocate licenses to specific client devices or users, to help ensure that these entities have access to the features they need. This functionality is available for the local license server or a Cloud Licensing Service (CLS) instance, hosted in the Revenera cloud.
Important:You can use either reservations or named license pools. Reservations and named license pools cannot coexist alongside each other. For more information, see Named License Pools vs. Reservations.
Note:In previous releases of the FlexNet Embedded license server, named license pools used to be referred to as “partitions”.
For information about the setup and use of named license pools on the license server, see Allocating Licenses Using Named License Pools in the More About License Server Functionality
