How to Work with the License Manager
This course covers the processes needed to efficiently handle your COMSOL Multiphysics® licenses with the FlexNet® license manager. We will look at ways to control the usage of different modules, handle idle sessions, and monitor current usage.
Note: The administrative processes are demonstrated with floating network licenses (FNLs). However, the processes in this course also apply to class kit licenses (CKLs), COMSOL Server™ licenses (CSLs), and academic server licenses (ASLs).
