Testing Dynamic Licencing Mode

Deadline
1

Hello !

We have bought a pack of deadline hours in the UBL.
I’ve setup the settings, but i can’t find any way to test it before all my workers are rendering so i need to wait afterworks hours.

Is there’s any way to test dynamic licencing mode ?

Thanks

If you enable the Dynamic Licensing option under Configure Repository Options > Usage Based Licensing, you can control how many Standard (floating) licenses should be used before falling back to Usage Based licenses.

Alternatively, you could keep the Dynamic Licensing option unchecked, but switch a single Worker to Usage-Based Licensing via the Deadline Launcher > Change License Server… to force it to ignore the floating licenses and use UBL exclusively.

Depends on whether you want to test whether UBL works, or how the Dynamic mode works…

Thanks Bobo for the trick to switch licence server on a worker. I’ll do that !
