Connection to LIM

Select the manner in which you want the LIM to handle the Fortify WebInspect license assigned to this computer. Options are described in the following table.

Option	Description
Connected License	The computer can run the Fortify software only when the computer is able to contact the LIM. Each time you start the software, the LIM allocates a seat from the license pool to this installation. When you close the software, the seat is released from the computer and allocated back to the pool, allowing another user to consume the license.
Detached License	The computer can run the Fortify software anywhere, even when disconnected from your corporate intranet (on which the LIM is normally located), but only until the expiration date you specify. This allows you to take your laptop to a remote site and run the software. When you reconnect to the corporate intranet, you can access the Application License settings and reconfigure from Detached to Connected.
