# Setting Group Reservations

Group reservations should be used to restrict the right to run applications for particular users, computers, or groups. Selected users can be allowed to run certain applications or can be prevented from accessing applications. This can be used as an additional security measure. This can help to balance application usage when you want to prevent users from running applications on heavily loaded computers or file servers.

This feature gives you the ability to exercise local administrative controls by associating a series of groups with each feature and reserving for each group a certain number of license tokens.

The license tokens not specifically reserved can be used by anyone.

The group reservations capability is only meaningful with a network License Manager. However, it is not supported when the redundant License Manager pool is set up.
