Purchasing a floating license type from Kodak allows you to provide access to Prinergy Tools for a group of your company's internal workers.
The Prinergy Tools local service license manager allows multiple computers to share a multi-user license. If all available seats are taken, the current user must quit out of Illustrator to release a license for another operator to use. The local service manager should be installed on a Windows computer that is always running.
If the local authorization server has an internet IP address, computers on the internet can also use a local service license. The web management port is 8274, and the client access port is 8273. To edit these ports, access http://localhost:8274 and click Config.
Note: If you need a proxy server to connect to the Internet, configure the proxy server and then activate the license code.
Requirement: Microsoft Windows Server 2012, Microsoft Windows Server 2016, Microsoft Windows 10 or later operating system

The Loan and Revert feature is intended to be used when you need to access Prinergy Tools offline from your company network environment and the Local Service license server. For example, you'd like to use Prinergy Tools on a laptop outside of the office. You'll first need to be on the company network and click Loan to ‘borrow’ the license on your laptop. You can then unplug from the network and your license will remain active. The Loan license will remain active, without having to re-authenticate with the License Server for the time period specified in your user license. You need to be aware that taking a Loan license will remove one seat from the license pool, and that seat won’t be available for other operators on the company network, until you connect your laptop back to the company network and click Revert to release the license back to the pool.
