When license product preselection is needed?

Within floating license environments it can happen, that you want or have to use different products for the same installation (workstation) depending on program or user group. So possibly an employee in the standardization department can work with a reduced license, an employee in the engineering department however with the complete license.

On the License product preselection index page the administration can allow or deny specific license products for special users or groups.

Certainly it is more user friendly not at all to display not required licenses.

Important In order to setup the License product preselection use a PARTadmin (any computer) from the PARTsolutions installation and not the downgraded PARTadmin from the FLM installation.[a]

[a] So if you have just set up the CADENAS FLM Server at the respective server, then you have to change the computer now. Background: PARTadmin from the FLM installation writes in the configuration file select_license.cfg under %ALLUSERSPROFILE%/cadenas_flm/partsolutions/setup. PARTadmin from the PARTsolutions installation writes in the configuration file under %cadenas_setup% / select_license.cfg.
