Overview

VisualDSP++ is a licensed product. You may only run one copy of
this software for each license purchased. There are currently two
options for licensing—node-locked, where the license is associated
with one computer, and floating, where the license is server-based
(see Task 2). This document provides instructions for the complete
node-locked installation and the client license installation only.
