==Lock Types==
TUFLOW Products are licenced via locks, available in two forms; WIBU USB-2 Dongles (hardware lock) and WIBU Software Licenses (software lock). A third form, WIBU Cloud locks,
===Current Licence Lock Options:===
Line 19:
* '''Local Licence''': TUFLOW simulations can only be run on the computer hosting the Lock. For installation guidance, see <u>[[New_User_Guide_Local_Licences | Local Licence Installation Guide]]</u>
* '''Network Licence''': The Lock can be hosted on any computer or server. Other computers 'check out' licences from the host computer via a company’s network. There are no regional restrictions associated with Network licences. For installation guidance, see <u>[[New_User_Guide_Network_Licences | Network Licence Installation Guide]]</u>.<br>
* '''Cloud Licence''': The Lock is hosted on a central WIBU cloud server. Other computers 'check out' licences from the host server over an internet connection. There are no regional restrictions associated with Cloud licences. For installation guidance, see <u>[[New_User_Guide_Cloud_Licences | Cloud Licence Installation Guide]]</u>. Note that a cloud licence can either be provided as a Local Cloud Licence, so that TUFLOW simulations can only be run on the computer that have the cloud licence installed, or as a Network Cloud Licence, for the same benefits that a Network Licence provides, but with the added administrative overhead as well.<br>

==How many simulations can be run at the same time?==
The number of licences reflect how many TUFLOW simulations can be run in parallel at any given time. For example, a Local 4 can run 4 simulations at the same time on the one computer. A Network 5 allows up to 5 simulations at any one time across an organisation’s network. If all licences are in use when a TUFLOW simulation starts, the simulation enters a holding pattern until a free licence is available.{{Tips Navigation
