### BEAM PRO Licensing Scheme

BEAM PRO uses a [floating licensing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floating_licensing) scheme and will consume activation slots from a License from your account only when an **import / export tool** is used and release it after a **cool-down period**.

{% hint style="success" %}
Invite additional users to your [TEAM](#manage-account-and-licenses) so they can access and use your licenses.
{% endhint %}

#### Overview

**Standard Accounts (2-Device Activation Slots)**

* **Two Slots per License:** Each license grants **2 activation slots**.
* **Slot Consumption:** Running an **import** or **export** on a device locks one slot to that device.
* **Concurrent Use:** You can lock slots on **up to 2 different devices** at the same time.
* **Cool-Down & Auto-Release:** After an import/export, that slot remains reserved for the device during the cool-down period, then **automatically frees**, making it available for another device.

**Enterprise Accounts (Unlimited Devices)**

* **No Slot Limits:** Import/export on as many devices as you need—no activation caps or cool-down constraints.

| Account type        | Device activation release period | Device activations per license |
| ------------------- | -------------------------------- | ------------------------------ |
| BEAM PRO Standard   | 12 hours                         | 2                              |
| BEAM PRO Enterprise | No Cool-down                     | Unlimited                      |

{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
**No Manual Deactivation**: Logging out, closing the program, or shutting down the machine does not immediately release the license.​
