License Administrator
License Administrators are set per Master License (not per License) and have the following privileges:
・Adding or removing License Administrators from Master Licenses*
・Adding or removing License End Users from Licenses
・Downloading and Activate software
・Downloading ISO images
* There is no limit to the number of License Administrators on a Master License
License End User
The role of the License End User depends on the license option.
Individual:
The user who actually uses the license. This user has software Download/Activation rights.
* Only one License End User can be registered per license.
Designated Computer:
The actual user does not need to be registered as a License End User. The License Administrator can grant this user software Download/Activation privileges. By default, the License Administrator who performed the activation is set.
* Only one License End User can be registered per license.
Network License (Concurrent/Network Named User):
The actual user does not need to be registered as a License End User. In order to install software over the Internet you need to be registered as a License End User. To install the software you need to receive a license file from your License Administrator.
* There is no limit to the number of License End Users linked within the License Center.
