You can restrict and allocate license tokens as necessary.

This is the default license mode for all Parasoft tools. The v2 license (beta) enables License Server to serve license tokens to connected Parasoft tools version 2021.1 and later, whereas the v1 license supports Parasoft tools 2020.2 and older. You can add both versions to License Server from this screen.
