|
|
One customer currently has a network license with one seat. He wants to buy an additional seat (two users at a time). I know that this is controlled by the number in Product Info, but I cannot find the way to change this number in License Tracker. Could you please help? Thank you. |

This depends on what version of Licensing you are using (and built your software against). Prior to version 6 support for floating network licenses was not built directly into Authenticated Licenses. The sample projects for Version 5 included a floating license server and client project that used the ProductInfo to set the number of allowed licenses. Since the ProductInfo is included in the actual license key you can't change this without generating a new license key - so in this case the solution is to generate a new license key with the required number in the ProductInfo. You can then deactivate the old key.
In Version 6 there is better support for floating licenses and the number of Floating Licenses is included as a parameter in the license and can be updated without generating a new key. _________________ Infralution Support |

I'm using version 5, so I generated a new license key with the required number in ProductInfo. Thank you.
I have a question about version 6: aren't the existing licenses affected since ProductInfo doesn't contain the number of seats anymore? |

If you have an application when uses the ProductInfo to set the number of floating licenses then you can still generate keys for it in Version 6. You just continue to use the ProductInfo instead of the new Floating Licenses option when generating keys. _________________ Infralution Support |
