Node-Locked:
A node-locked license allows using MDK by exactly one person on a maximum of two computers (single-user). No network connection required.
Floating:
A Floating-User License allows developers to use MDK on multiple computers. Floating-User Licenses require a file server hosting a license file. A network connection to check out the floating-user license is required.
FlexLM Floating:
A FlexLM License allows developers to use MDK on multiple computers. A network connection to check out a FlexLM license is required.
MDK for STMicroelectronics STM32F0 and STM32L0:
The MDK for STMicroelectonics STM32F0 and STM32L0 is a license paid by STMicroelectronics. It is free-to-use for software developers working with STM32 devices based on the ARM Cortex-M0 and ARM Cortex-M0+ cores.
