When an application that uses one or more Accusoft products is deployed, it requires a Runtime License for each installation. There are three main types of Runtime Licenses: 

• Automatically Reported. Distribution of Automatically Reported Runtime licenses is handled automatically through the use of licensing software components and web services.  
• Manually Reported. Manually Reported Runtime licensing requires you to provide the number of licenses distributed on a contractually agreed upon basis.
• ActiveX Website Runtime Licensing. Using an Accusoft ActiveX on a webpage is similar to Manually Reported Runtime (Non-Node-Locked), as it requires calls to SetSolutionName, SetSolutionKey, and SetOEMLicenseKey. However, the web licenses are not node-locked to particular hardware but are node-locked to a set of specific domains or sub-domains.

These licensing types are each described in detail in the following sections:

• Automatically Reported Runtime (Node-Locked)
• • Licensing API
  • License Pools
  • License Configuration Files
  • LDK vs. SLU
  • • Server Licensing Utility (SLU)
    • Licensing Development Kit (LDK)
  • Deployment Proxy Service (DPS)
• Manually Reported Runtime (Non-Node-Locked)
• • Solution Name
  • Solution Key
  • OEM License Key
• ActiveX Website Runtime Licensing

If you are upgrading from an earlier version of ImagXpress, please see the Upgrading Runtime Licensing section for important information.
