Licensing CAD
After you have installed and configured CAD, Unified CCE License Administration automatically starts. You can license your software at this point or close the application and license your software later. Your CAD software will not run until you have licensed your CAD services. You can re-run Unified CCE License Administration whenever you want to update the number of seats you have purchased.
Current licenses persist when upgrades are made on existing or new servers. No new licenses are required. But Customers installing new or additional CAD seats must license the software using the "Unified CCE License Administration" application that resides on the CAD server.
