This article explains the concept of a floating license in PIX4Dmapper.
Note: A Pix4D license is a floating license. Taking the PIX4Dmapper as an example, it allows a user to log out of PIX4Dmapper on one computer and log into PIX4Dmapper on another. A user does not need to uninstall PIX4Dmapper to move their license to a new computer. In the example of PIX4Dmapper, a user can also deactivate a device remotely if the remote device deactivation feature is enabled. For more information: Remote device deactivation - PIX4Dmapper
