Licence Protector Multimedia Edition supports 3 different types of license:

 

Licence per User

The Windows User name is licensed. Each user, starting the Multimedia Player, will need a license. The windows user name is written into the license file.

 
Licence per PC

 

This is often the default license type. Each PC, starting the Multimedia Player, will need a license. The PC name is written into the license file. This type results in less licenses then Licence per User (e.g. if 2 users share 1 PC then 2 licenses per user are needed but only 1 PC license).

 

If the application runs on a Citrix / Terminal server, then the hostname of the local PC and not the hostname of the server is used.

 
Licence per Concurrent User

 

This is a typical license in a huge multi user environment. The Multimedia Player can be installed on an unlimited number of machines but the number of concurrent (simultaneous) users are counted and limited to the specified number. The licence is assigned only as long as the Multimedia Player is running. If the Multimedia Player is terminated, the licence is available again. If a user logs in with the same user name on 2 different PCs then 2 licences are used.

 

Licence Protector Multimedia Edition offers a sophisticated verification of concurrent user licences. Machines that hang or crashed are detected and the licence is released. This is all done automatically through the Multimedia Player.

 

This is an add-on option.

 

 

All license types work also in a Terminal Server and Citrix Environment. The license information can be displayed within the Licence Viewer.
