How can we help?

Start first by saying that i've search the forum to the best of my knowledge and cannot find a reference to that anywhere surprisingly.

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

We have a lot of licences that are running on a floating model. The licence is used when the software is in use and released as soon as the software is closed. For example, we may have a 5-seat licence with 20 potential users.

Currently, this creates a tracking issue. We either:

• Manage two separate licences: one with the actual number of seats and a secondary one to represent additional users, or
• Enter an artificially high number of seats in the licence, which is inaccurate and misleading

Describe the solution you'd like:

Add a button or option in the licence details to define a "floating licence" type. When enabled, it would allow overcommitment of the licence (e.g., 5 seats with 20 assigned users).

This would make licence management more accurate and easier to track. In case of conflicts, it would also allow generating a clear list of users who can access the licence, which can be shared with the licence owner.

Describe alternatives you've considered:

Currently, to maintain accurate cost tracking, we manage a secondary licence to represent overflow usage.

For example:

• One licence with the real 5 seats and actual cost
• A secondary licence with additional "overflow" seats, set at 0$ cost

This workaround functions but adds complexity and reduces clarity in licence management.
