Educational and Volume Licensing

A LightBurn license key comes with 3 seats by default, meaning that it can be installed and run on up to three computers. If you need more than 3 seats, you can buy additional seats at a reduced price. Keep reading for more information, or use the Quote Calculator on our website for volume pricing and purchase links.

For more information on how the LightBurn license works, see our License Info page.

Volume Licensing

By default, when activating a LightBurn license, the software will be activated for the user account and computer it's activated on, meaning that separate user accounts on the same computer would need to activate a LightBurn license independently.

LightBurn offers two advanced licensing setup options — System Locked and Floating licenses — to accommodate installation in shared spaces such as school computer labs.

System Locked Licenses

A System Locked license is locked to the computer it's activated on, allowing all users on the same computer to use the same license without sharing login info.

Floating Licenses

A Floating license is managed by our license server, allowing the license to be allocated when a LightBurn session is started and released when the session is closed. With Floating licenses, you pay for the number of licenses that will be used at the same time, rather than the number of computers LightBurn will be installed on.

  • This is intended for environments such as schools, where LightBurn might be installed on a large number of computers, but only used by a class of 30 at any given time.
  • Your key must be specially tagged as a Floating license to use this setup option.
  • Floating licenses have a 10 seat minimum and require constant internet connection.
  • Floating licenses must be installed according to our directions.

See our Quote Calculator for pricing and purchasing links for both standard and floating licenses.

For setup information, please see System Locked License Setup or Floating License Setup.
