## **Steps**

---

If you have a [Named license](https://docs-chaos.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/LIC5/pages/124757466), follow these steps. The steps are the same for connecting to an [online floating license pool](https://docs-chaos.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/LIC5/pages/124757909).

> ✅ You can use your Chaos account credentials.

*Sign in confirmation*


> ⚠️ You can use the license server that installs automatically with the product to check the availability of your licenses. See how [here](https://docs-chaos.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/LIC5/pages/124359569).


## **Floating Licenses**

---

[Floating Licenses](https://docs-chaos.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/LIC5/pages/124624351) **can be shared** between multiple users and can be used completely online or within a local network, depending on the setup.

To use an online floating pool, your Administrator needs to add you to their Organization. This sends an automatic email confirmation, which also contains a link you can use to create an account, if you don't have one yet.

After that, you can follow the same activation steps as above to connect to the online floating pool.

1. <span style="color: #272727">Proceed with a default installation.</span>
2. <span style="color: #272727">Sign in with your Chaos Account when prompted.</span>


<span style="color: #172b4d">If you are an Administrator in an Organization, see the </span><span style="color: #172b4d">[Cloud-Based Floating Licensing](https://docs-chaos.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/LIC5/pages/124757909)</span><span style="color: #172b4d"> page for a guide on how to share licenses through the my.chaos portal.</span>

> ℹ️ If your organization prefers to centrally manage licenses, enable anonymous device-based access, or deploy licenses within an offline or secure network environment, refer to the [License Server Deployment](https://docs-chaos.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/LIC5/pages/124524875) page.


## **Troubleshooting**

---

If you are experiencing any difficulty installing or running the Chaos License Server, please refer to the [Troubleshooting](https://docs-chaos.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/LIC5/pages/124392984) page for possible solutions.


## **Notes**

---

<span style="color: #272727">If you are using Player version 2.10.03 or earlier, activating the product is part of the installation. At the end of the installation, you are prompted to sign in with your Chaos account in a web browser.</span>
