KeyStore, v8 and named vs. floating licenses

Good day everyone,

I have a question regarding v8 of EA, the KeyStore and how it handles floating vs. named licenses.

Here is the scenario, I have 6 named licenses and 20 floating. We will be implementing the TCP/IP option of the KeyStore after the first of the year, (we're currently having everyone access a file on a shared folder.) unfortunately I'm not understanding (from the SSKeyStoreUG.pdf document how I address both the named and floating licenses. Do I add all of them into the Keystore manager and it figures out who gets a named and who gets a floating or do I keep them separate and run two different license managers?  :-/

if anyone has any clarification on this and is willing to share, i would really appreciate it.

Thanks
Steve

Only floating licenses go in the keystore. By named licenses I assume you mean 'non floating'. These licenses have to be manually entered into an instance of EA running on the desktop that it is being registered on.

When adding keys to the keystore (through the keystore manager app), it should only accept floating key types.

Ok that helps a lot! I wasn't understanding how this worked, this will make it easier to manage the license now.

thank you for the reply!
