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 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.
• DLL Website Runtime Licensing. Using an Accusoft DLL on a webpage is similar to Manually Reported Runtime (Non-Node-Locked), as it requires calls to IG_lic_solution_name_set function, IG_lic_solution_key_set function, and IG_lic_OEM_license_key_set function. 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)
• DLL Website Runtime Licensing
