Using TurboFloat

TurboFloat allows you to add floating licensing (a.k.a. concurrent licensing) to your application. TurboFloat comes in 2 parts:

1. The TurboFloat Server: the Windows Service / Unix daemon that issues the "floating license" leases. Your customers can spin up TurboFloat Server instances on our infrastructure, or they can activate and install, and configuring the TurboFloat Server on their network.

2. The TurboFloat library: what you include with your application to allow for floating licensing. You can integrate it with your app using any programming language. Read on for specific language articles:

Use TurboFloat library with any programming language

You can integrate the TurboFloat library in your app no matter what programming language you use. Here are some tutorials:

• Using TurboFloat with C#
• Using TurboFloat with C, C++, & Objective-C
• Using TurboFloat with Delphi
• Using TurboFloat with Java
• Using TurboFloat with Python
• Using TurboFloat with NodeJS or Electron
• Using TurboFloat with Visual Basic .NET
• Using TurboFloat with Visual Basic 6 (VB6)
• Using TurboFloat with Visual Basic for Applications (VBA)

There are no external dependencies. Also, TurboFloat works on the following CPU architectures:

• Windows: x86 and x64 (a.k.a. Intel / AMD 32-bit and 64-bit) and ARM64
• macOS: Universal binary for Intel 64-bit & ARM64 ("Apple Silicon")
• Linux: x86, x64, ARM 32-bit (ARMv7-A & ARMv8-A), and ARM64
• FreeBSD: x86 and x64

Cross platform compatibility

Your app, using the TurboFloat library, can "talk" to the TurboFloat Server no matter which platform either the TurboFloat library or the TurboFloat Server are sitting on. For example your app could be running on Linux and talking to a TurboFloat Server running on Windows.

This gives your customers flexibility to install the TurboFloat Server instance on a computer that best fits their needs.
