How does Veras licensing work? Do I need to log in? Is it tied to the Chaos License Server?

Veras uses Chaos's unified licensing system. You access your rights by logging in with your Chaos account when prompted within the product. Licenses can be named (assigned to a specific user account—usable from any machine, one at a time) or floating (shared pool; first come, first served). Floating seats can be provisioned via Chaos's cloud-based floating model (recommended) or via a locally deployed Chaos License Server if your IT department prefers on-premises license management. In either case, users authenticate via their Chaos account to obtain a license.
