Commuter license
Commuter licensing allows users to activate their SDL product by borrowing a license from a network licensing server.
Offline borrowing
Users require a commuter license usually when they want to travel and need to use the SDL product offline for a certain period of time. After borrowing the license and specifying the expiry date, users can disconnect from the company's network and from the license server. When the borrowing limit is reached, the license seat is automatically returned to the server and available for other users to pick up.
Session borrowing
When online, users can just connect to the license server to take up a license seat from the ones available in the network license. When users close the SDL application, the license is automatically returned to the pool of available license seats.
