Registering a floating license

How you register to use a floating license will depend on how floating licenses are managed in your organization.

• If all the machines sharing a pool of floating licenses are on the same network segment, you will register your licence the same way you register a named-user licence.

  Note: [For System Administrators] Different running instances of Oxygen XML Editor communicate with each other, using UDP broadcast on the 59153 port, to the 239.255.255.255 group.

  Warning: This mechanism was deprecated starting with version 17.0 and it is scheduled for removal in a future version. It is recommended to switch to the license server/servlet licensing mechanism.

• If the machines sharing the pool of floating licenses are on different network segments, someone in your company will need to set up a license server. Consult that person to determine if they have set up a license server as a standalone process or as a Java servlet as the registration process is different for each.
