- The hardware license is the legal software license. It has following two types:
- Stand-alone Key: The sand-alone key has only a certificate of authenticity. It needs to be installed in the same computer with SuperMap GIS software. The stand-alone is green frost.
- Network key: The network key can be installed on any computer within the network, and it can provide multiple certificate of authenticity. The computer that installed the network key is called license server. The clients whether it installed license drive or not within in this network can use this network key. The hardware is red frost.
When you use the hardware encrypted key, you should note that:
- After you insert the hardware key into the computer, the hardware key is effective when the signal light is light up.
- On Windows, the hardware key can be ran directly.
- On Linux, you need to install the driver for the hardware key to recognize the inserted hardware key. If you use a stand-alone key, just install the driver on the local machine; if you use a network key, install the driver on the license server.
- If there are two types of licenses on a same computer, it will give priority to use the stand-alone key.
- If use the hardware key on the virtual machine, it needs to connect the hardware key to the virtual machine through related settings of virtual machine software.
