Policies are license keys that enable you to use an application.
Each policy contains specific policy information and an authentication key. Silk Meter-controlled applications may have the following policy types:
Floating: Controlled software can run on any computer on a network. A CORBA server manages the number of available access keys.
Standalone: Policies may also be used for standalone mode (no Silk Meter server running) if they contain the allow_standalone property.
Standalone only: Policies with the force_standalone property can only be used in standalone mode (no Silk Meter server running).
Application usage can be controlled via Silk Meter policy properties:
