The license is controlled by a multiplatform license server, which will register each client machine the first time that client machine connects to it by running Mnova, and until the maximum number of licenses is reached. The way these licenses work is simple and has been designed to ensure all users at an organization get the most out of the software. What are campus and site licenses and why should I have them? mestrelab T12:02:22+00:00Ĭampus and Site licenses are those created for Universities (Campus) and Companies (Site) with a large number of potential users.

So concurrent licenses fit perfectly with those organizations where many users are going to use the application but not many simultaneously (so use of the application by each user is not intensive) and where the use of the application whilst off the network (at home, conferences, on trips, etc.) is not desirable. Please note that to be able to use these licenses, a connection to the license server is essential, so they are not indicated for working from home (unless a good VPN connection is available) or whilst on trips, but rather for working at the workplace. Once one of the 4 users closes the software (or a predetermined period of time elapses with no interaction) that license is released, and a new user can start using the software. Therefore, when a user launches Mnova, if there are already 4 users using the software, the license server will refuse the license and return a message to come back later, as a license is not available.

The server, however, will control the simultaneous usage. An unlimited number of activations will be allowed. Should I have concurrent or nominated licenses? mestrelab T13:54:17+00:00Ĭoncurrent licenses limit only the number of simultaneous users, but not the number of users who can use the software at different times while nominated licenses allow to run you the program by a specific number of single users.įor example, in the case of an institution with a 4 seats concurrent license: Once the license server has been installed, users will get a license file to activate their local installations of Mnova on their machines.
