The License Manager is a GUI application that is used by a developer to register and activate Toolkit licenses on their development system. The License Manager is in the License > License Manager folder of your install directory.
Registering the Toolkit
When a paid Toolkit license is registered, the License Manager:
- Communicates the developer's credentials and the hardware information for the development system to the licensing web service.
- Installs the returned license key on that system.
Activating the Toolkit License
Activation involves choosing a Toolkit license so that the license is active on the system.
See Selecting An Edition (Activating a Toolkit License) under Product Editions (below) for more information.
Product Editions
Accusoft products may have multiple editions, each of which supports different features.
Selecting An Edition (Activating a Toolkit License)
Since each license supports only a single edition of a product, the developer can switch between editions by activating the corresponding Toolkit license using the License Manager. Run the License Manager to change the Toolkit license to a lower edition in order to determine if that edition will serve their needs.
If a customer has purchased multiple editions of the same product, they may install both editions on a development system, but only one edition may be active at a time. Once a license has been activated for a particular system, it may be deactivated (replaced by activating another edition) or reactivated at any time.
