NETWORK FLOATING vs
STANDALONE
A network floating license enables multiple users to access the same software concurrently, whereas a standalone license is restricted to a single device. This arrangement provides an effective solution for sharing the software among various users via a local network.
This type of license, known as a concurrent license, can be installed GSTARCAD License Manager on a server or license hosting computer with network, allowing multiple users to share and access the software license floatingly. This flexible and cost-effective model achieves resource integration, particularly for teams that do not use the GSTARCAD software frequently.
License Hosting Compatibility
The system is compatible with Windows 10, Windows 11, Windows Server 2016, and Windows Server 2019.
Requirement
Please ensure that you are connected to the network in order to access the network licenses, as these licenses are stored on a server or licenses host computer. While the GstarCAD Network License Manager (server software) does not require a high-performance system, it is essential that the computer hosting the license server remains operational and accessible for other computers to utilize the licensed software effectively.
Example
If an organization requires access for three engineers but anticipates that only two will use the software simultaneously, it should purchase two licenses. However, there may be capacity constraints during peak usage times.
Is it feasible to designate a specific user for temporarily offline access to the license?
Yes, License borrowing facilitates the temporary acquisition of a license for use on a computer that is not connected to the network. This feature provides users with both flexibility and convenience, particularly for those requiring access in offline environments.
How can we effectively optimize and manage the license usage based on the responsibilities assigned to each team?
Yes, An "OPT file," typically designated as "gcad.opt," functions as a configuration file utilized by the GstarCAD Network License Manager. This file is instrumental in managing and distributing network licenses within an organization. By utilizing the OPT file, administrators are empowered to establish various parameters, including limits on license borrowing and restrictions on user access for GstarCAD and other plug-in products that operate under a network licensing structure.
In addition, there is a License timeout, in which a license will expire if the product has not been active for a specified time period.
How does one access a floating license when situated behind a firewall?
#WORK-FROM-HOME #ALWAYS-FROM-THE-OFFICE
METHOD 1
VPN (Virtual Private Network) allows users to connect to the workplace network via the Internet, simulating a physical connection to the network.
This is the most secure and seamless end-user experience, as the client machine uses a VPN profile or some authentication to connect directly to your GstarCAD Network License server over the internet through a Virtual Private Network.
* Enable and configure a VPN server at your existing internet route or any server with VPN services.
METHOD 2
That is the most straightforward way to share GstarCAD network licenses across the Internet. Once the port of the license server is open through port forwarding (the default server port number is 27000-27009), client machines can access the server and acquire a license.
On this setup, as an end-user, you only need to enter the IP address or the domain name of the GstarCAD network license Server on the address field when activated.
In this setup, the GstarCAD network license server is publicly exposed online. Anyone who knows the server's IP/domain name and the port it is running can acquire a license.
If you need to restrict access, you can use the “License Option (OPT file)” feature on the License server to fine-tune who can obtain a license.
* You must configure the port forwarding at the internet router or firewall.
EFFECTIVE RESOURCE INTEGRATION YIELDS THE MOST FAVOURABLE ECONOMIC OUTCOMES.

The LT version does not include a 'Block Editor' command; however, it can edit blocks through the 'block edit-in-place' or 'refedit' command.
The standard version of GstarCAD incorporates the partial Block Editing (BEDIT) command, which enables users to modify existing blocks through the Block Edit functionality. However, it is important to note that this version does not provide the capability to create or edit dynamic blocks.
The GstarCAD PRO and PLUS versions feature a comprehensive Block editing (BEDIT) command, which facilitates the creation and modification of dynamic blocks..
Develop applications or scripts to automate various tasks, execute commands, and customize the user interface. Additionally, facilitate data extraction and modification, as well as integrate with other applications and systems.
