- License Types
SOLIDWORKS PDM uses floating client licenses. When you log in to a vault, the license installed on your system is taken from a pool of licenses that are managed by the SolidNetWork License Server. When you log out or exit SOLIDWORKS PDM, the license is returned to the pool and can be used by another client.
- Changing the Client License Type
You select the client license type during installation.

The license is retrieved from the SolidNetWork License server that is defined in the license setting. To add or modify SolidNetWork License server, you use the Set License dialog box available from the Administration tool.
