    Named License

    Can be used only by the user who has been assigned that license. Users who receive the named user licenses are guaranteed access.

    Users share the licenses and can log on as long as there are concurrent licenses available.
    No License Assigned
    Users without a license assigned cannot log on.

    You can add as many users as you choose, but access is granted only to users with named user licenses or to users who receive concurrent licenses as they log on. If you have named user licenses, you must assign them to specific users.
