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)
• • Licensing API
  • License Pools
  • License Configuration Files
  • Server Licensing Utility (SLU)
  • • Command Line Mode
• Manually Reported Runtime (Non-Node-Locked)
