When an application that uses one or more Accusoft products is deployed, it requires a Runtime License for each installation.

When runtime licensing is purchased, Accusoft provides the following:

• Solution Name
• Solution Key
• License Configuration File – The License Configuration file contains information about the Runtime licenses for a particular platform and version of a toolkit. The SLU (Server License Utility) uses it to activate Runtime licenses when the customer’s application is installed on their users' systems.
  The files for the SLU (slu.exe and AccuLicClient.dll) are stored on the development machine by the product installer. You can find them in the sub-path "Common\Licensing\Deployment" in the product's main install location.

There are three main types of Runtime Licenses:

• Automatically Reported Runtime (Node-Locked). Distribution of Automatically Reported Runtime licenses is handled automatically through the use of licensing software components and web services.
• Manually Reported Runtime (Non-Node-Locked). Manually Reported Runtime licensing requires you to provide the number of licenses distributed on a contractually agreed upon basis.
• Metered - Metered Licensing allows purchase of a number of transactions which automatically reduce when certain Barcode Xpress API calls complete successfully.
