Supported license types

ID-Locked

(Node/User-locked): this type permits your customer to use the licensed software on a dedicated computer. The computer is identified by using unique hard- and software parameters. This identification information is optained by your software using the OLicense-Client-API.

This license model is commonly applied for software licensed on a per computer basis; for example, Microsoft Office.

Free Floating

A floating, or concurrent user, license permits your customer to use up to a fixed number of copies of the licensed software at any one time. The licensee may install the software on an arbitrary number of computers; only the number of concurrent users running the software is controlled.

This license model is often used at companies where the licensed software is used by alternating groups of employees.

ID-Floating

Same as Free Floating with the exception that the license can only be accessed by defined maschines.

Workgroup Floating

(Time blocked concurrent, (Sunshine)): This licensetyp is located between Free Floating and ID-Floating. Here, the IDs will be (de)registered automatically.

The licenser defines a pool where a certain quantity of users remain a certain time. If a user requests a license, he will be registered in the pool first, unless the pool is full. Does he check out the pool, the entry will be reserved until the time-out is reached. Is the time-out sufficient, new users can be e.g. 'locked out' in the night (Pseudo sunshine license)

Pay per Use

 A pay-per-use license permits the customer to use an unlimited number of copies of the licensed software at a time. The utilization time is logged in a file that is delivered once a month to you for charging.

This license model may be applied for software products which are leased to the licensee.

ID-Trial

Same as Free Trial type with the exception that the license is tied to hardware.

Free Trial

A demo license permits a potential customer to utilize an unlimited number of copies of the licensed software at a time.

This license model is applied to enable prospects to test the licensed software before purchasing it. Demo licenses allow the software to be used for a limited amount of time but are not tied to a particular machine. You may also give your software further restrictions when it is used with a demo license; for example, disabling "Save".
