Connect to LIM
The LIM allows you to manage concurrent licenses for Fortify WebInspect in a manner that best suits
your organization’s development and testing environment. For example, your company may have
Fortify WebInspect software installed on 25 machines, but holds a concurrent license that permits a
maximum of 10 instances to be active at any one time. Using the LIM, you can allocate and deallocate
those 10 seats in any way you like, without coordinating or negotiating through the Micro Focus
central licensing facility.
Note: Contact your LIM administrator to obtain the information required to complete this
procedure.

Connected License - The computer can run the product only when the computer is able to
contact the LIM. Each time you start the software, the LIM allocates a seat from the license pool
to this installation. When you close the software, the seat is released from the computer and
allocated back to the pool, allowing another user to consume the license.
l
Detached License - The computer can run the product anywhere, even when disconnected
from your corporate intranet (on which the LIM is normally located), but only until the
expiration date you specify. This allows you to take your laptop to a remote site and run the
