The primary use of Arden Licence Server (formerly, Impact Licence Server) is to allow floating licences between workstations to aid flexibility.
The Licence Server utility is installed on a server or designated workstation and given an IP address. The licences are then loaded into the licence server for deployment. Finally, each Impact workstation is then configured to look for the server IP address. Upon connecting to the database the user will be prompted to choose a licence to allocate. Once disconnected from the database the licence is freed to allow another user to use it.
As of Impact 2019, it's now possible to run an Impact Licence Server without a physical dongle.
Impact running on a workstation that uses a license from the Impact License Server can be used via Microsoft Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP). (While Impact that uses a standard activation licence cannot)
