Licenses

In order to work with the connector, it has to be licensed with one of the following types: Trial, User or Floating.

To apply one of these license types, open the licensing dialog from the "Specialize" menu:

Trial

You can easily try out the connector without requesting a trial license from us. To start your 30 day evaluation period, simple select "Start Trial":

Note

Started a trial and could not finish your evaluation?

No problem, everyone has been there! Just write a mail to sales@lieberlieber.com and we'll send you a key to extend your trial period!

Floating

In order to use the floating license mechanism, you need to install a Floating License Server.
A guide that shows how to install the Floating License Server is available here: Installation of Floating License Server.

To apply a floating license, switch to the "Apply License" tab and select "Floating License" as License source. In the next step, enter the port and the server address of the Floating License Server into the "Server Address" text box, in the following format: port@server:

If the connection test with the button "Test" was successful, click "Apply".

If the license is valid, the license details are shown in the license overview:

Offline License

Floating licenses are also usable offline. To check out an offline floating license for a maximum of 30 days, click "Request offline license": 

You can see the remaining days until the offline license is returned in the License Dialog:

Note

The Offline License is checked in automatically at the end of the validity and a new Floating License is checked out, if needed.

The User can also decide to return the Offline License before the end of validity within the License Dialog.
