Licenses
Licenses is where you connect and manage your commercial software license servers — FlexLM, RLM, LMX, and others — so Vantage clusters can check out licenses when jobs need them.
Hosting models
| Model | Who manages it | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Vantage-hosted | Vantage deploys and maintains the license server | Teams that want zero admin overhead; automatic HA and monitoring |
| User-hosted | You run the license server on your own infrastructure | Organizations with existing license setups, compliance requirements, or custom configurations |
