Runtime Licensing

Runtime licenses are intended for when a development project has been completed and is ready to deploy to an end-user system. It enables the full functionality of the product with respect to the edition under which the license was purchased.

These types of licenses should only be used for client deployments. Deployment or Runtime licenses should not be used on development machines, as this can deplete the amount of available licenses from your license pool (with respect to node-locked licenses).

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

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

Automatically Reported Runtime (Node-Locked)

Deployment Proxy Service (DPS)

Manually Reported Runtime (Non-Node-Locked)
