Use Case

A node-locked license activated on a machine is only able to be used by one user.

When the second user tries to log in and activate the license using the same web register keys used by the first user, they receive an error stating that “license is invalid”.

Error

License is invalid

Type of Licensing

FlexNet Embedded

Possible Causes

#1: License Associated to an Ethernet ID

The license could be associated to an ethernet ID, as shown below, which might have been changed when the second user logged in.

#2: Quantity Assigned to the Entitlement Might Need to Be Increased

The quantity assigned to the entitlement associated with the device might be 1, which has to be increased further if multiple users want to activate the license on the same device.
