All-In-One Protector supports 3 different types of license:

•Licence per User

•Licence per PC (only option in Standard version)

•Licence per Concurrent User

Licence per User (Person)

The Windows User name is licensed. Each user starting the All-In-One Player will need a license. The windows user name is written into the license file.

This type of license requires a Licence for each User, but only one Licence per PC. If 2 users would share 1 PC this would result in 2 user licenses, but only in 1 PC license.

Licence per PC

This is often the default license type. Each PC starting the All-In-One Player needs a license. The PC name is written into the license file. This type results in a smaller number of licenses than with the Licence per User type (e.g.: if 2 users share 1 PC, 2 Licences per User are needed, but only 1 PC license).

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

Licence per Concurrent User

This is a typical license in a huge multi-user environment. The All-In-One 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 license is assigned only as long as the All-In-One Player is running. If the All-In-One Player is terminated, the license is available again. If a user logs in with the same user name on 2 different PCs, 2 licenses will be used.

All-In-One Protector offers a sophisticated verification of concurrent user licenses. Machines that hang or have crashed are detected and the license is released. This is done automatically through the All-In-One Player.

The network license and Licence per User as well as Licence per Concurrent User is available only in the All-In-One Protector Premium Plus Edition.

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