CORE Licensing Options

Vitech offers three licensing options to provide flexibility as you deploy CORE within your project team or enterprise.

Node License

This license file resides on your local hard drive. It is the best option if you are working from a single machine. Your computer is identified by a unique ID which is then embedded in a license file from Vitech. The licensing runs in the background and is completely transparent to the user. The only drawback is that the license is not mobile. You can move the license from one machine or location to another but must pay a license transfer fee and submit a request to Vitech before a license can be transferred to the new machine.

Enterprise License Mechanism

The enterprise license mechanism allows a single enterprise server to support a specified number of clients.When enterprise clients connect to the server, the enterprise server checks to see if tokens (licenses) are available and permits the appropriate number of concurrent connections. The enterprise server license mechanism is an excellent option for licensing a single enterprise server. If your site needs to share client licenses across multiple servers or support both workstation and enterprise licenses, you may wish to consider the network license manager instead.

Network License Mechanism

The network license manager (NLM) runs as a service on any Windows NT-based machine connected to the network. A file indicates how many and what type of licenses you have with the NLM. Users log into CORE, and CORE requests a license from the NLM. The NLM is the most flexible licensing approach, allowing you to seamlessly share licenses across your network. The NLM software is installed separately from CORE.
