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.

  You can use the Server License Utility (SLU) to install the license.:

  • The SLU is a simple Java application that uses the provided configuration file to pull down a license and install it on the user's machine.
  • You can find the files for the SLU (slu.exe and AccuLicClient.dll) in the sub-path, licensing\deployment, in the product's main install location.

• 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.

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.
