For private server licenses, once connected to an Altium Infrastructure Server (AIS) or on premise managed content server such as Concord Pro, the client steps are the same as for an On-Demand license.
A license seat that is being Roamed is not released back to the license pool when you sign out or close Altium Designer.
This feature can be turned off by your administrator, so if it's not working, check with your administrator first. This information may be useful to them:
