TurboFloat not valid for solo and basic plan ?

I see that TurboFloat will be not valid for solo plan and basic plan, it is right ?

Yes. TurboFloat will only be available for the Plus, Premium and Max plans. It's also included with the self-hosted version of LimeLM. For all other plans there's a 10 floating license limit (so you can try TurboFloat and see if fits your needs).

If yes, it is a very bad new for a lot of customers...For exemple, i do not need to have 3000 activations just to use float lincenses. 😲

Floating licenses won't be needed by most customers. They're typically only needed by customers selling to large end-users buying many "seats" of software (corporations, universities, government agencies, etc.) For customers selling to these types of end-users, the Plus plan price is a negligible cost (especially considering the positive ROI -- return on investment -- of LimeLM).

I have some customers which ask me for floating licenses...Perhaps for most software, floating licenses is not needed. But i work on a software for computer graphics.In this domain, in a lot of companies, workers do not have have "assigned computers". And my software is "specific" to some workers.So, a lot of companies ask me for floating licenses (1 floating license, or 2, or 3, not 500....).The problem is here... What is the solution ?Can i purchase floating licenses ?

If you can give me a solution, it will be great. Because have 3000 licenses have no sense for me.

Perhaps the solution will be, like you told me by email, "hobby" plan. We will have the possibility to buy some "nodeLocked pack licenses" and "floating pack licenses" ?

I hope "hobby" plan will be here very soon avec 3.3.

There are a few solutions to this problem, but floating licenses isn't really ideal for such a small number of floating licenses (I'll explain why in a second). The easiest solution to this problem is have your customer buy a license for every computer they'll be using your software on. The second easiest solution is to add a "Deactivate" menu to your app so a user can deactivate from one computer and activate on another computer. This way they'll still be using 1 activation, but it requires them to manually deactivate before using your software on another computer.

Now, why do I say floating licenses is not ideal for under 10 licenses? Because having floating licenses requires a centralized floating license server (called TurboFloat Server) that runs somewhere on a company's LAN. TurboFloat Server is easy to setup, but is it easier than buying a few extra licenses for the extra computers a customer will be running on (especially when you consider the *bureaucratic* process of hosting server software internally)?

If you're selling to real, profitable, companies (not just hobbyists) and your software is under a thousand dollars then just charge your customers for every computer they use your software on. You're in the business, right? So don't be afraid to make money from your software.

Hi, yes, you are right, floating licenses is good for more than 10 licenses.But basic plan gives the possibility to have 1200 activations. I can understand that floating licenses is not available for solo plan (300 activations...), but have 1200 licenses and not the possibility to have floating license, i do not understand.Because 1200 licenses is a lot, and like you say, floating licenses is good when we have more than 10 licenses.If i sell 50 licenses, or 100 licenses for a company (with my basic plan), how will i do ?It is not serious for me to give 100 nodeLocked licenses to a company (which change computers a lot...).

Perhaps the solution if to give the possibility to the basic plan to have floating license (and not solo plan, obviously) ?1200 licenses is lot, and not sell pack of 20-50...floating licenses is a big problem for me (and like you said, 10 licenses is the minimum, but even with 50 licenses I can not ...)

I hope you will understand my problem and give this possibility.

Thank you.

Hi,what i tell is not logic ?

We're sticking with TurboFloat for the Plus plan and above. Maybe (in the future) we'll offer a "pay as you go" plan that offers TurboFloat.
