    usually student licenses are nodelocked.

    Server licenses are floating in general.

    Why are you asking, by the way? did you have any issue?

    I have no issues at the moment. But when there are some problems with licensing I would like to know if the customer has nodelocked or floating license. And I don't know how to check that from the license file.

    if I'm not mistaken, the nodelocked license has no license tokens count, and the floating has the number of tokens and a different header.

    Thanks! I was just comparing nodelocked and floating license files and found the difference, just as you said.

    Hi Mika, thanks for raising this. Please feel free to contact the indirect team as well. We can setup a training on licensing if it makes sense.
