License Server Modes

Understanding License Server modes

License Server Modes

Datamine License Services provides the following modes for all operating environments:

  • Desktop License Server.

  • Department License Server.

  • Enterprise License Server.

To check the mode of the computer you are using, start the License Manager and look at the far right of the Status Bar:

Desktop License Server

The Desktop License Server is designed for users with standalone systems where software is installed on the same computer as the License Server, and all licenses are keyed to that particular machine.

This mode only supports one license per product.

Department License Server

The Department License Server supports networked installations: the License Server is installed on a remote computer which serves licenses across the network.

This mode supports multiple licenses per product.
