Configurable Licenses on Computers or Local License Servers

The following are possible configurations for licenses residing on local computers or local license servers:

Computers Connected to the Internet

If computers are connected to the Internet and a direct connection can be made to the GE Cloud License Server during the activation process, licenses are downloaded directly from the GE Cloud License Server to the computer.

Computers Not Connected to the Internet

If computers are not connected to the Internet and a direct connection cannot be made to the GE Cloud License Server during the activation process, you must use a network drive or portable media device. Files are transferred between the offline computer and an online computer that can connect to the GE Cloud License Server during the activation process.

Intranet Computers Not Connected to the Internet, and Local License Server Connected to the Internet

If computers in an intranet are not connected to the Internet (permanently offline) and a direct connection cannot be made to the GE Cloud License Server during the activation process, but the Local License Server computer within the intranet is connected to the Internet, then the licenses are added to the Local License Server computer from the GE Cloud License Server. Licenses are activated on the Local License Server computer from the intranet computers with GE software products.

Intranet Computers Not Connected to the Internet, and Local License Server Not Connected to the Internet

If neither the intranet computers nor the Local License Server are connected to the Internet and a direct connection cannot be made to the GE Cloud License Server during the activation process, you must use a network drive or portable media device. Files are transferred between the offline Local License Server and an online computer that can connect to the Cloud License Server during the activation process. Intranet computers then connect to the Local License Server to obtain activations.
