About licensing

You will not be able to use Meridian until licenses have been correctly registered. The BlueCielo License Server service grants and reclaims licenses for all Meridian clients, vault connections, and optional modules on the same local area network. It manages either licenses that are assigned to specific users (named) or floating (concurrent) licenses.

Concurrent licenses are granted to users dynamically on a first-come, first-served basis unless licenses have been reserved. Concurrent licenses are released immediately when the client application is closed.

Named licenses are assigned to specific users upon first use. A license remains assigned to the user unless it is re-assigned by a system administrator.

The following topics describe the types of licenses and how to register, authorize, merge, reserve, view, and re-assign licenses.
