Licence Protector: Available License Types

Licence Protector offers a wide variety for licensing. You can use an unlimted number of modules (starting with Basic Edition) within one license file and combine all module types. A typical license file for an ERP System could be

ERP main module - test for number of users per PC
Accounting module - test for number of concurrent users
Report module - test for number of available reports
CTI module - test if available or not
Online update - test if available and whether expired or not

Every module type (see below) has its own licencing information:

available for a number of days after installation (time limitation)
expires at a predefined date (maximum expiry date)
Demo version yes or no

Module Types

Yes / No module. This is the standard module type for testing whether a module is available or not

Number of users - each user needs a license. The Windows user name or the name of a user within an application can be used. The license is assigned to the user when the application is installed - Icon

Number of machines/computers - each PC needs a license. The host name of the machine is used for verification. This license is also called license per seat. The license is assigned to the machine when the application is installed - Icon

Number of concurrent users (floating license) - the license is assigned only as long as the application is running. When the application is terminated, the license is available again - Icon Note: Licence Protector offers a sophisticated verification of concurrent licenses. Machines that hang or crashed applications are detected and the license is released. There is no active service on the server necessary. The verification is done automatically through the DLL - for more technical information browse the Knowledge Base.

Counter Module - this module offers a counter which can be modified by your application. If can be used for multiple purposes - e.g. for storing a release number or for counting how often the application was started
