Embarcadero offers a variety of licensing options so organizations can more easily manage their software. Workstation licenses are perfect for individual users, while the network-based named and concurrent licensing options provide a flexible, cost-effective solution for organizations with a larger number of users, who want the ability to share and manage a pool of licenses.

A Workstation (aka Named) license is for use by one person. It is not intended to be shared by multiple users. For more information, see Registering a Workstation License after Application Startup. Also, this type of license does not require installation of a license server.
Network Concurrent
Network Concurrent licenses are managed through the License Server, and it requires to host the License Certificate Number with its Network Credentials provided with your purchase.Login name: acct-###########Password: ###########This type of license provides multiple users with the flexibility of using any Embarcadero product, but each user will only acquire a license when the application or feature is open. This license option tracks the number of simultaneous users. If the number of simultaneous users exceeds the number of purchased licenses, anyone who subsequently tries to start the software is denied access. Network Concurrent licenses are only valid for the geographic region in which they are sold. Global contracts can be purchased on a contractual basis. Please contact your sales representative for more information.
Network Named
A Network Named User license is similar to Workstation licensing in that a license is designated to an individual. Licenses are managed over a network using a License Server. An administrator installs the License Server in a central location on your network where users are authorized to operate the product, and host the License Certificate Number with its Network Credentials provided with your purchase .

The Network Named User is permitted access to that license at all times but may be restricted by the Administrator, if required. This option has many advantages including centralized administration, fast and easy provisioning and de-provisioning of software assets, and asset management features including usage reports.
