General Description
eValid licenses are
HostName-based or MAC-address-based concurrent licenses that
can be configured in a variety of ways to meet customer requirements.
Individual eValid product features and feature groups are controlled via feature keys in the eValid license. Each feature key activates an individual part/feature/facilitie within the eValid product installed on that HostName or MAC address.
The eValid product sequence: Help > License Info shows which features are installed on that HostName or MAC address. The eValid product sequence: Help > System Information shows details of the machine on which it is installed, including the exact machine HostName or MAC address.
Licensing Options
Here are the basic licensing options for eValid.
These options cover most circumstances,
but different network structures and different
customer requirements can also be served on special request.
See also the Access Options.
There are seeveral lasses of eValid license:
The features that are included support the quality-assurance and testing work of one person, including regression testing, but they are not intended for use in a multi-user, commercial, or for-profit context.
A standard license without the MULT feature eValid allows up to 2 eValid copies (instances) on that machine. With the MULT feature installed eValid authorizes an unlimited number of copies (instances) on that machine.
A standard license without the MULT feature eValid allows up to 2 eValid copies (instances) on that machine. With the MULT feature installed eValid authorizes an unlimited number of copies (instances) on that machine.
The total number of authorized concurrent eValid users for this configuration is expressed in the EPRISEnn feature key, where nn is the maximum number of eValid copies (instances) that can be checked out (used by one signed-on user) at one time.
A standard license without the MULT feature eValid allows up to 2 eValid copies (instances) on that machine. With the MULT feature installed eValid authorizes an unlimited number of copies (instances) on that machine for that user.
If you have a standard license without an EPRISEnn feature, then the behavior is as if you have an EPRISE01 license installed by default. At any one time one user can be running with eValid -- a single or multiple instances -- but a second user will be denied access.
At eValid authorization time the associated web agent is informed by secure HTTPS of the eValid license features requested, and the web agent provides the appropriate authorization by a return secure HTTPS message for the HostName or MAC address making the request. Detailed records of usage of Web Enabled Licenses are kept.
Web-enabled licenses will not be suitable for "air-gapped" or internal LAN operation because of the web authorization requirement (it could not be met from an isolated installation).
