Child Licensing
Child Licensing is a special feature that may be purchased from Instant Connect. It allows Administrators to apply existing ICE licenses from a ‘Parent’ ICE Server to ‘Child’ ICE Server. For Parent Servers, the License Server feature appears On ICE Desktop, in the Settings > License page under Licensed Features (shown below).
If the License Server feature does not appear, then the current license for the server does not allow for the creation of Child Licenses.
