Checkout licenses

If you want to reserve a specific license for a particular user for a limited time, you can checkout this license on the user's machine. This machine does not have to be connected to the server.

You can checkout licenses for a maximum of 30 days.

  1. In Tosca Commander, navigate to the Project menu and click on License.
