Concurrent License

also called floating license, shared license pool, CLM

A concurrent license is a license that floats between multiple installations, with only as many simultaneous users as the pool allows. Useful for estimating teams where not every estimator needs the tool at the same time.

Vertigraph's Concurrent License Manager (CLM) lets a 3-license pool float across more than 3 installed seats — a team of 5 estimators sharing 3 active licenses pays for 3 plus $149/yr per additional install.

Named-user licenses are tied to one specific user. Concurrent licenses are tied to a pool that floats; the first N users to launch the application get a license, the (N+1)th user has to wait.

Concurrent makes economic sense when estimators don't all use the tool at the same time. For full-time estimators all working in parallel during a busy bid period, named-user is usually cheaper since there's no idle pool.
