Determine the License Server Model

If you choose the Network License option, you need to know which license
server model will be used to distribute the product licenses. This was specified
as one of the following when the license was purchased:
Single license server model. The Network License Manager (NLM) is
installed on a single server, so license management and activity is restricted
to this server. A single license file records the total number of licenses
available on the server.
Distributed license server model. Licenses are distributed across more
than one server. A unique license file is required for each server. To create
a distributed license server, you must run NLM on each server that is part
of the distributed server pool.
Redundant license server model. Three servers are available to
authenticate each license. With this configuration, licenses continue to
be monitored and issued as long as at least two servers are functional. The
license file on all three servers is the same, and you must run NLM on each
server.
Each of these license server models is described in detail in the Licensing Guide.
It is recommended that you also read that guide before you deploy the product.
You can find the Licensing Guide by clicking the Installation Help link in the
installer.

Configure Individual Products

When you create a deployment, you can accept the default settings for any
product you choose to install, or you can configure these settings to create a
custom deployment. Configuration details for each product are usually covered
in a product-specific appendix to this guide. It is recommended that you review
these appendices, and determine the right settings for each product in your
deployment.
To configure product settings, on the Create Deployment page of the installer,
ensure that the product is selected for installation, and then click the product
in the scrolling list. The configuration panel opens.
