To deliver a USB stick with a ready to go license, there are only a few steps necessary.
Limit usage
The customer can use the license always only on the computer, where the USB stick is attached. The limitation by PC / user is an additional configuration setting to limit the usage.
• | Use a license per Computer/PC - this limits the usage to the defined number of computers (recommended option). To define an unlimited usage, just configure a license with 9999 computers |
• | Use a license per User- this limits the usage to the defined number of users (USB stick can be used only on one PC) |
A license per concurrent user is not supported with an USB stick.
Activate protection on USB stick
Select screen Administration, Switch on Copy Protection on USB Stick. This opens a dialog, where you can select the license file on the USB stick. The copy protection is then activated.
If the USB stick does not support this option, an error message is displayed:There is no valid instcode for file filename.lic
You have to use another USB stick.
Typical project settings
In combination with USB stick you would have typically these settings:
• | Uncheck - No evaluation version - Serial Number needed to start |
