Applications Licenses Node

The Applications Licenses node is one level below the Application Virtualization System node in the Scope pane in the Application Virtualization Server Management Console. When you select this node, the Results pane displays a list of licenses and license groups. The following license types are available:

  • Unlimited License—Provides access for any number of simultaneous users. This method of licensing is appropriate when you want to associate an enterprise-wide license with an application.

  • Concurrent License—Enables you to define the maximum number of concurrent users who are allowed to use the application.

  • Named License—Enables you to assign a license to an individual user. A named license can be used to ensure that a particular user will always be able to run the application.

Note   You can combine concurrent and named licenses for the same application.

Right-click the Applications Licenses node to display a pop-up menu that contains the following elements.
