After this point, new requests for activation will be refused, Once the limit has been reached, the administrator can remove users.Įach activated machine can then use the software, and every time the software is used whilst a connection to the license server exists, a clock is started on the local machine allowing that machine 90 days of usage even if there is no connection to the server. However, we can also accommodate any special sizes, just contact us with your needs.ĮXAMPLE: An academic institution with an up to 150 user campus license: Once the license server is installed, the clients will get a license file which will allow them to connect to the server.Įach time a new Mnova is activated on a computer (on campus or at home) this new activation will count as an activation, and these will be allowed until 150 machines have been activated. Academic and government campus licenses come in 2 sizes, up to 150 users and over 150 users, and industrial site licenses come in up to 50 users, up to 100 users and up to 150 users. Mestrelab campus licenses allow users to work anytime, anywhere, with or without connection, with the software they need to fulfill their role. Of course, the license server administrator can remove client machines from the list at any time by accessing the very simple License Server Graphical User Interface.
This is ideal flexibility to allow users to work at home during vacations or whilst finishing publications or a PhD, or to work during trips to conferences, etc.Īlso, after the 90 days expire, the clients disappear from the list, automatically freeing up licenses, so student turnaround over the summer is taken care of automatically. Once registered, users can use the software within the institution, whilst connected to the server, but also whilst not connected to the server, as each time the client connects to the server a 90 day clock is started which will allow 90 days of software usage without connection. 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. Can I have a multiple users accross different operating systems? 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.
