Subscription Based Licensing

InstallAnywhere 2021 SP2 and later offers subscription licensing with two different licensing models: a node-locked subscription license and a concurrent subscription license. A concurrent subscription license can be configured with FlexNet Licensing Server.

Node-Locked subscription License: Node-locked subscription license is to be used by one user on one machine or virtual image, and may not be installed on shared computers. InstallAnywhere will be licensed for the subscription duration to which the node-locked license is entitled.
Concurrent subscription License: If your organization has purchased concurrent licenses of InstallAnywhere or the Standalone Build, a FlexNet Licensing Server that you set up in your environment manages how many instances of the product can be run simultaneously. Each user who wants to launch one of these products needs to establish a connection with the licensing server to check out and check in licenses when needed.InstallAnywhere will be licensed for the subscription duration to which the concurrent license is entitled.

InstallAnywhere updates the subscription details in the About dialog box for all kind of subscription licensing. On the Help menu, click About InstallAnywhere. The About InstallAnywhere dialog box opens and shows the Subscription details after the activation. The About InstallAnywhere dialog box shows the subscription end date and the remaining days left for the current subscription.
