About floating licenses

Floating licenses are not reserved to any machine. It is recommended to have floating licenses of the same product name and capabilities on a single License Server. For example, you could have a License Server with several activated InTouch 2017 Runtime 60K tags licenses with the same capabilities. Similarly, you could have a License Server with several activated InTouch 2023 Runtime Unlimited tags licenses with the same capabilities.This is a recommended practice to ensure deterministic license consumption.

However, it is not recommended to have licenses of the same product name but different capabilities activated on the same License Server. For example, you could have a mix of InTouch 2023 Runtime Unlimited tags activated licenses with InTouch 2017 Runtime 500 tags activated licenses on the same license server. In this scenario, there is no way to ensure which instance of WindowViewer will consume the license with the higher tag count.
