Runtime Licensing

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/LDK uses it to activate Runtime licenses when the customer's application is installed on their users' systems.
License Access Key File - This file contains access keys available for use with each product purchase. The access keys are only needed with Annual Node-Locked Deployment License purchases. This file can be accessed by logging in Accusoft’s customer portal with your account credentials.

You can find the files for the Server License Utility (SLU) (slu.exe and AccuLicClient.dll) in the sub-path, licensing\deployment, in the product's main install location.

There are two 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.
