Licensing Essentials in a Nutshell

Licensing for both native apps and web apps is based on the use of the DS License Server. So, once you have purchased your licenses, you must enroll the licenses on the DS License Server. The DS License Server software is delivered on a separate dedicated media.

The DS License Server is the principal licensing tool. But other licensing tools exist for a variety of purposes, some on the 3DSpace Service side, some on the native app side. The role of the Dassault Systèmes Licensing Essentials Guide is to describe what these tools are and explain how to use them.

Before Reading this Guide

On premises only: Before reading this guide, you should read the DS License Server Installation and Configuration Guide that describes everything you need to know about the DS License Server.
