Obtaining a Mobile License

When you are using a floating license and anticipate being out of contact with the license server, you can borrow a mobile license to allow you to continue using PowerDesigner for up to 30 days.

  1. Select Tools > Take Mobile License.

    A confirmation dialog box is displayed.

  2. Click Yes to obtain a mobile license and click OK to confirm.

    Once you have obtained a mobile license, the 30 day limit is renewed automatically each time you connect to the license server. If you do not contact the server for 30 days, the mobile license is returned to the pool and you will not be able to use PowerDesigner until you reconnect.

    Note: When you no longer need the mobile license you should return it to the server to make your license seat available to the general license pool. To do so, select Tools > Return Mobile License.
