Concurrent Licencing Information

If Concurrent Licenses are used in your EzeScan environment…

when the EzeScan client is loaded, it will request a license file from the EzeScan Authority Server
The EzeScan Authority Server can be configured with multiple license file types and can issue a number of connections depending on how license pools have been setup, for example…
- department A can have modules a and b
- department B be can have modules a, b and c

The EzeScan Authority server can also hold configuration profiles.

This means that when the EzeScan client is started it will check the configuration profiles and if the client configuration is outdated it will pull down a new configuration.

This guide provides information on the EzeScan Authority Server. It describes how to install, configure the service, how to create license pools, manage configuration profiles and ID counters.
IMPORTANT NOTES:

If using a concurrent license; the EzeScan PCs are required to be licensed for the concurrent mode.
One concurrent license must be used per site.
- If there is a need to purchase additional concurrent licenses then please contact EzeScan or your reseller and they will provide a quote
  - The general practice to cost the additional concurrent licenses in a pro-rata method so that the new licenses will then have the same renewal date as the existing concurrent license.
The EzeScan client must be on the current EzeScan version.
