License types

The are two types of licenses:

Authorized user license

If you are an individual who purchased IBM® SPSS® Modeler for yourself, you have an authorized user license. An authorized user license has an associated code that authorizes individual installations of the product.

If you are part of an organization, you might have an authorized user license for a specified number of users. The same authorization code is valid until the number of authorizations exceeds the specified number.

Concurrent user license

A concurrent user license is a "floating" license that can be used simultaneously (concurrently) by a specified number of users. Each installation of the product is not authorized. Instead, the product is authorized on a server machine through an application called the license manager. When the product starts up, it communicates with the server machine and checks if a licenses is currently available.
