Floating License - no information who use license

[Algimantas Kuprenas]

Hi,

Started using Floating licenses and had first issue is the we were not able to track down who from office automatically took floating license (we still have floating and codemeter licenses). We need to go through all colleagues in floating license group and find in their computers via License Manager Tool who took cloud license.

We need this information to be shown in Company License Manager screen. There it's only visible total and used licenses, but who is using them it's totally not clear 😉 

Operating system used: Windows 25H2

Can confirm a cloud licence always takes precedence over an codometer licence. This is by design as typically most people would not have both a cloud licence and codemeter licence for ac26 or later. 
The only way to stop the cloud licence being picked up is to not have a cloud licence assigned to the signed in gsid, so just remove them from the floating group.

Another way around it would be to logout of your GSID when launching AC. This allows you to launch in demo mode, and if you have a dongle, force using that licence that since you are not linked to the floating licence group. Unfortunately, GS decided to lock things, not sure what, behind launching the program with a GS signin, so if you need any of those features you are out of luck. Another thing is that you can apparently only use AC for 30 days without signing in, which is a rather problematic discovery if your are on a perpetual licence... Everyone loves having perpetual software require a link back to a 3rd party server to run... There was recently a speal at the European parlament regarding this sort of requirement in relation to non-subscription software.
