This installation code is a very good criteria if you have a company wide (unlimited) license. Binding the license to the domain ensures, that every user can install the application and that there are no problems regarding hardware codes.

 

After a user logs in his Windows account, the Windows-Domain name is used for copy protection. This also works for notebook users which are offline, as you can always log in using the domain-name.

 

The same license file can be copied to any machine. No additional activation is necessary after the first user has activated the product. For this special installation we recommend using a manual activation (e.g. phone)

 

Every workstation has to specify the same domain for login like domainname\username

 

 

Settings for Activation Server

To allow a reactivation, you have to limit the reactivation exclusively to the domain. These are the settings for the project.config file

 

    <InstCodeType1>12</InstCodeType1>

   <InstCodeType2>5</InstCodeType2>   (this would be used if the network works without a domain)

   <InstCodeType3>1</InstCodeType3>

   <AllowReactivation>Yes</AllowReactivation>

  <CheckInstCodeType1>12</CheckInstCodeType1>

<IgnoreLocalInstCodes>false</IgnoreLocalInstCodes> (definition is mandatory for reactivation using domain)

  <MinIdenticalInstcodes>12</MinIdenticalInstcodes>        (backup ID if no domain is available - then no reactivation is done as 12 IDs have to match)

 

 

This ID can only be used as a single PC / single user license. A network license is not supported.

 

This feature is only available in the Professional Edition.
