Floating (

...

Self-Hosted)

For air-gapped and closed-network environments running multiple Chariot instances that share a pool of concurrent license seats. License validation stays entirely inside the deployed network.

Install the License4J Floating License Server (FLS) on a host inside a network, send Cirrus Link the FLS hostname and fingerprint, and receive a license keyed to the Floating License Server. Each Chariot instance is configured with the FLS URL and leases a seat from the FLS at startup.

Use CustomerSelf-Hosted Floating when:

  • Running multiple Chariot instances inside a single closed network
  • Using short-lived deployments based on concurrent seat count rather than per-server licenses
  • License validation must remain inside a secure network perimeter (no outbound internet from Chariot or the FLS)
