3   Licensing

3.1 Execution without license key
3.2 Execution with a license key

The main program of the X-POSE-X-RECORD product, the X-POSE-X-RECORD proxy xposexrecord, has to be licensed. You may download the software from the SMART ALEC DOWNLOAD TRAY server. However, for continuous use you need a license key.

We use the product LICENSE TRAY of SMART ALEC for licensing.

3.1   Execution without license key

Without a license key or with an invalid or unbound license key, the program runs in evaluation mode with full functionality (1.1 Functionality) and all options enabled. However, it terminates after 30 minutes at least with a warning message. Data recorded by X-POSE-X-RECORD in evaluation mode can be replayed within one day only.

The evaluation time can be extended by a temporary license key.

3.2   Execution with a license key

The separate product X-LICENSE is used for licensing of all X-SOFTWARE products, i.e. control of the legitimate use of the software. You may download the software over the Internet from the SMART ALEC DOWNLOAD TRAY server:

The right to use the licensed software is attested by a license document and is technically implemented by a license key. One - or more for high availability - license servers control - allow or deny and log - the use of the software on all computers connected to the local network. The right to use may be bound to a single computer (node-locked) or to the network (floating).

In the most simple case of node-locked licensing the main program of the licensed product starts a local license server automatically.

Installation and configuration of the license server are described in the manual of the X-LICENSE product.
