Floating licensing (FL) is a licensing model with a license server that runs the license management process and distributes licenses to a number of client application servers within the network. Such a licensing model is appropriate for software which is running in environments with dynamic hardware configuration, e.g. ephemeral or virtual containers or environments.

The FL is also available for the WebSpellChecker licenses management as a part of the FL mechanism. It makes it possible to automate the process of the WebSpellChecker application licensing in virtual environments with dynamic hardware configuration. 

The WebSpellChecker FL mechanism coordinates the work of a License Server and monitors how it controls and delivers licenses to a number of connected WebSpellChecker applications.

The License Server is shipped as a separate light-weight package that contains only a core component called AppServer with the FL mechanism. It doesn't include any spell or grammar checking functionality as it is aimed at the license delivering process.

Using the FL mechanism for the WebSpellChecker licenses management process allows:

  • Automating license activation process. No need to perform the manual steps with the license activation on each server with the WebSpellChecker application.
  • Simplifying process of the application maintenance in virtualized environments with varying hardware configuration. 
  • Integrating the WebSpellChecker application installation and upgrade processes into deployment procedure of your application.
