Reserve licenses for users

Reserving a license for a specific user guarantees that the user can use the reserved license as long as the user is authorized by the licensed product.

User reservation is the main use case for reserving connection licenses. Reserving licenses for a user is helpful when the same user needs access to the application from different devices at different times, and be guaranteed to have a license available when needed.

For some products, a license will be reserved for a user automatically when the product acquires the license. No manual reservation procedure is necessary in these cases.

Note: The user identifier entered when reserving licenses must match the user identifier known to the relevant computer or domain.
