This section covers important definitions that can help you better understand how to use
QNX licenses.
Terminology
- Development seat
- Refers to any license type meant for development
- Host/Host machine
- Refers to a developer's machine that has QNX SDP installed on it
- Build server
- Refers to any machine which has components of QNX SDP installed and is used exclusively for
automated QNX builds
License model types
Below is a quick overview of each license type. To get an in-depth explanation,
see the QNX Product Portfolio Guide (http://www.qnx.com/qnx_sdp_product_guide_71).
License model types for development
- Named User Developer License
- This is a standard development license seat. Issued to a user who is named and identified by their email address.
- Floating Developer License
- Requires a floating license server. Floating license seats may float between
developers (multi-user mode) provided each floating license is tied to a
single developer at any given time.
For instruction on how to deploy and
set up Floating Developer Licenses, see the Floating License and
Continuous Integration Build Server License Management Guide.
License model types for automated builds on build servers
- Floating Build Server License
- This license allows for QNX automated builds on build servers using floating
licenses. It uses the same floating license server for both development
and build servers. Each floating license is tied to a
single developer or build server at any given time. Multiple builds on a
build server require multiple floating licenses.
For instruction on
how to deploy and set up Floating Build Server Licenses, see the Floating License and
Continuous Integration Build Server License Management Guide.
- Continuous Integration Build Server License
- Allows for QNX automated builds on build servers using floating license
technology. It requires its own floating license server. Each license is
tied to a single build on the build server at any given time. Multiple
builds on a build server require multiple licenses.
For instruction on how to deploy and set up Continuous Integration Build Server Licenses, see the
Floating License and
Continuous Integration Build Server License Management Guide.
- Standard Build Server License
- Uses a Named User Developer License on a build server. Developers
require a Named User Developer License.
