Licensing methods and types of licenses

There are two methods of licensing GstarCAD: an activation code assigned to a specific computer and a USB dongle. In the latter case, the license is assigned to the USB key, and not to a specific computer, which allows you to run the full version of the program on any computer to which the key is currently attached. 

Single seat license

The license entitles the user to use the program on one seat. Nevertheless, it can be transferred between stations by overwriting the USB dongle to which it is assigned. The license is active on the computer to which the key is connected.
In case of mechanical or electronic damage, the USB key is replaced free of charge.
Note: Please remember that if you lose the USB dongle, you will lose the license. Unfortunately, the hardware keys are not monitored in any way and we cannot verify whether the license is still in use or whether it has actually died.

Network license

Network licensing is dedicated to companies using min. 3 or more licenses.

Such licenses are "stored" on the so-called License server (it can be any computer working in the corporate network). Each user can "download" licenses from the server and run the program on a local site. Upon completion of work, the license is automatically returned to the server. The network license is most often used by companies that want to optimize the number of necessary licenses and use them optimally on many workstations. 
Note: Please remember that if you lose the USB dongle, you will lose the license. Unfortunately, the hardware keys are not monitored in any way and we cannot verify whether the license is still in use or whether it has actually died.
