The License screen shows the status of the active license and allows the activation of a license key. Specifically we can see here:
...
License type - can be one of the following:
perpetual - Perpetual license entitles to use the application for unlimited time. But the entitlement for support and new versions is valid only if a support contract is active. For versions released after support contract expiration, the license will be invalid.
subscription - Subscription license entitles to use the application only during the time of active support contract, see “Subscription active to”. After that the license is terminated.
demo - Special mode, which the application enters any time, when problems with license are detected. This “demo mode” means the application is in something like “read only state”. Nothing can be written, modified, packages cannot be uploaded, etc. Only permitted actions are activation of a new license and deleting existing users (so if the licensed limit for number of users is exceeded, it is possible to get below this limit again).
Subject - informative name of the company or organization to which this license was granted.
Subscription active to - Period for which the license holder is entitled to receive new versions of the application and also support. For subscription type of licenses, when the subscription expires, the license also expires.
Domain (FQDN) - Domain name for which the use of the application is licensed. This domain is also used in sent out links to the packages and other sent out links. The same domain should be also visible in browser’s address bar during application use and in the related SSL certificate.
Number of users - active / maximal number of users, for which this license is valid. If exceeded, the application will automatically transfer to “demo mode”, severely limiting the functionality, see above.
License status - current state of the license, which can be one of:
valid - licence je platná a aplikace je tak plně funkční
invalid domain - application FQDN differs from the license, the application will only work in “demo mode”, see above
too many users - the number of users exceeded the licensed number, the application will only work in “demo mode”, see above
expired subscription - the subscription expired, or the perpetual license does not cover this version, the application will only work in “demo mode”, see above
expired license token - it was not possible to contact the license server for more than one month and update the license, the application will only work in “demo mode”, see above
License key
Po zadání licenčního klíče je možné licenci aktivovat stisknutím tlačítka Aktivovat licenci. Proběhne komunikace s licenčním serverem a pokud je klíč správný, aktivuje se odpovídající licence. Licence se následně pravidelně ověřuje a aktualizuje z licenčního serveru jednou denně. Pokud se tato aktualizace více než měsíc nepodaří, platnost licenčního tokenu vyprší, viz Stav licence výše. Ověření proti licenčnímu serveru probíhá po https.
Obrazovka s nastavením vypadá například taktoAfter entering the license key, the license can be activated by clicking the Activate license button. The application will connect to the license server, verify the license key, and if valid, activates the relevant license. The license is then regularly, once a day, checked and updated from the license server. If this fails for more than a month, the license token expires, see License status above. The communication with the license server is done using https.
The screen looks like this:
...
Po nové instalaci aplikace a prvním spuštění dojde k automatickému vystavení trial licence pro 50 uživatelů s platností 30 dní. Licence je vázána na konkrétní FQDN a nelze tak na stejné FQDN trial opakovat. Lze však pokračovat v trialu, který ještě neskončil. Po zakoupení plné licence dojde k přechodu z trial verze na plnou licenci.
