interval specified in the corresponding DLL license. Any number
of the assigned licenses still assigned can be unassigned at any
time.. The basic time unit encoded in the key is one month. A DLL

Licensed System(s)
License Systems in License Manager enables you to list the systems licensed for the selected product. Products
can elect to not display all or some licensing details.
Some products provide licenses to enable other products. The license keys generated by these products can
be manually added. In many instances, these generated licenses are not visible to the user. Therefore, the
only way to determine if a system is licensed for a product is to check the license status of the enabling
product and noting this relationship.
