Can a KSE floating license be shared across multiple accounts/machines at the SAME TIME? Can only 1 KSE floating license be purchased? Thanks.

I’ve read all this but I’m still not sure:

no, it cannt.  
floating licences are online licenses and will be checked for usage at run time.  
you thought you are clever, right?

Thanks! No I didn’t. What I really thought was “How come that even this isn’t clear explained?” ))

Hi @gdearest07,

No, KSE/KRE counts licenses as the online sessions at a time. If your team use multiple accounts/machines at the same times, you will need multiple licenses.
