Note

If you are using Microsoft Windows Remote Desktop (RDP) to access System Canvas or a simulator generated by System Canvas, the type of license you have for Fast Model Tools or the Fast Model Portfolio can restrict use of the product:

  • Floating licenses require a license server and do not have any special restrictions relating to use of Remote Desktop. Such licenses are normally issued to Fast Models users who have purchased the tool.

  • Node-locked licenses are tied to a specific workstation. These licenses do not work over Remote Desktop connections. Node-locked licenses are typically issued to users who are evaluating Fast Models. If this limitation prevents your evaluation of the product, contact license.support@arm.com and request a floating evaluation license.
