License management

Concurrent licensing is a software licensing model based on a number of users accessing the program simultaneously. This model allows customers to purchase a number of licenses equal to the largest number of users likely to be active at a given time, rather than the total number of users in the environment

Cargo Office validates the number of assigned users by the number of connections to the common database. Each user starting the application claims one license. If the maximum number of connections exceeds the maximum number of purchased licenses the user is denied access to Cargo Office.

Sharing licenses across multiple installations

Cargo Office allows you to share a single company license to multiple databases. A company license for 10 users can easily be installed like the following scenario:

  • Two users are mainly working on a stand-alone laptop. Both users install Cargo Office and assign a single license (this permits the application to be launched one time).
  • The central server is installed with the eight licenses, allowing a maximum of eight users to access Cargo Office simultaneously.
The number of assigned licenses is maintained by the company administrator in the Cargo Office.
