There are several use cases for borrowing a license:
- You can borrow a license from a floating network license to your computer if the floating network license supports borrowing and is prepared for it by the license administrator (Preparing the borrowing of licenses). To borrow a license, you require access to the license server. However, once borrowed, you can seamlessly work offline with the license.
- You can borrow a sub-license of an academic license from a university. This allows students to work with a PTV Vision product during their studies. You will also need access to the appropriate university license server to borrow an academic license. While working with a PTV Vision product, a connection to the license server is no longer necessary. However, a continuous Internet connection is still required for academic licenses, as PTV collects usage data for these licenses. Only anonymized, non-user-specific data is collected https://www.ptvgroup.com/en/terms-privacy/.
- You can also borrow a PTV Hub-License. Unlike floating network license, no borrowing period selection and no activation key are required (Using a PTV Hub license).
