Counting rules
Count the peak number of licences checked out from Minitab License Manager per product (LMTools Server Status shows licences issued and in use). The client software may be installed on up to three workstations per licensed seat. Multiple instances by the same user on the same computer count as one checkout. Borrowed licences remain checked out until returned. The guide describes Minitab License Manager as used in legacy multi-user installations.
Floors / minimums
