License administration
The GISconnector supports licensing for Single Use (machine based license) and Concurrent Use (network licenses). Along with the installation of the GISconnector for Excel, the application "Geolabs Administrator" is being installed. The Geolabs Administrator allows switching between Single Use and Concurrent Use licensing. Single Use licensing can be administrated with the Geolabs Administrator.
Single Use licensing
By Single Use licensing, one machine or virtual machine is licensed to run the GISconnector as a full version. The Single Use license file generated with the Geolabs Administrator and the serial number will contain information depending on the hardware configuration of the machine. If hardware parts of the machine are exchanged, the license might not be valid anymore and the licensing has to be repeated (license repair).
Concurrent Use license
A Concurrent Use license can be used on as many machines as you like. Concurrent Use licenses require a license server which provides the licenses. You can only use as many licenses simultaneously as you have purchased and are therefore available for checkout from your license server.
If you purchased a Concurrent Use License please continue with the Concurrent Use License administration.
