Hi, we would like to ask you some questions about APIS IQ (FMEA).
![NSS](https://www.nss.co.th/blog/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/animal_panda-150x150.png)
Sure! What kind of questions?
![Customer](https://www.nss.co.th/blog/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/business_woman3_1_question-150x150.png)
What is the difference between LOCAL license (Node lock license) and a NETWORK license (Server license)?
![NSS](https://www.nss.co.th/blog/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/animal_panda-150x150.png)
- LOCAL license (Node lock license): A license issued for the specific computer.
- Customer can use APIS IQ only on this computer.
- NETWORK license (Server license): A license issued for the specific server.
- Customer can use APIS IQ on any computers installed SW in the same network.

I see.
![Customer](https://www.nss.co.th/blog/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/business_woman3_1_question-150x150.png)
By the way, we may sometimes need to use APIS IQ not only at the office but also outside of the office, such as at a customer’s site or at home.
Can we do that?
![NSS](https://www.nss.co.th/blog/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/animal_panda-150x150.png)
Yes, there are packages that support the use of outside the office.

~~ [APIS IQ NETWORK license (Server license) + NLX] package ~~
Customer can temporarily use APIS IQ outside of the office by transferring the APIS IQ license from server to the local computer.
*No internet connection is required while using APIS IQ at the local computer outside of the office.
*Customer can define the period when they move the license. (for a maximum of 30 days)

Thank you! I understand it.

Currently, we have two FMEA responsible engineers. If we purchase 1 set license of [APIS IQ NETWORK license (Server license) + NLX], can both of these two engineers use it at the same time?
![NSS](https://www.nss.co.th/blog/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/animal_panda-150x150.png)
No. Once server license works for one client.
You can install APIS IQ software for multiple client computers, but multiple users can NOT use APIS IQ at the same time.

< What you can do with the above Example 2>
Scenario: You have one (1) Server license. You installed APIS IQ software for two (2) computers, Client 1 and Client 2.
- While you use APIS IQ with Client 1, you cannot use APIS-IQ with Client 2.
- While you use APIS IQ with Client 2, you cannot use APIS-IQ with Client 1.
- You can use APIS IQ with both Client 1 or Client 2, but not at the same time.

I understand it. Thank you!
Summary
~ The difference between license “with NLX” and “without NLX” ~
With NLX: Can move license from server to a local computer if necessary. And, can take this local computer and use APIS IQ outside of the office.
Without NLX: Can NOT move license from server to a local computer. Can use APIS IQ inside of the office only.
