Mobile Licensing

Learn about SySAM mobile licensing.

When a SySAM-enabled product uses unserved license, you can use the product offline, because the licenses and product are installed on the same machine.

However, when a SySAM-enabled product uses served licenses and is disconnected from the license server, you may not be able to work offline. SySAM provides a mobile licensing option that allows you to use served-license products without being connected to a license server.

To use SySAM mobile licensing, you borrow licenses for a specified period of time. You can use the licensed product offline until the borrowed licenses expire.

When borrowed licenses expire, you must reconnect to the network license server and borrow licenses again for the product to work offline. If you do not reborrow licenses before your currently borrowed licenses expire, the product runs only for a runtime grace period, then ceases to function.

Note: Typically, the maximum duration for which you can borrow a license is 30 days.
