Licensing

The main program of the XbigX product, the XbigX proxy xbigx, must be licensed. You may download the software from the X-Software Internet server. However, for continuous use you must have a license key.

Execution without license key

Without a license key or with an invalid or unbound license key, the program runs in evaluation mode with full functionality. However, after 30 minutes for run time it will display a warning message before terminating the program.

The evaluation time can be extended by a temporary license key, please contact sales@x-software.com for further information and support.

Execution with a license key

The separate product Xlicense is used for licensing of all X-Software products, i.e. control of the legitimate use of the software.

The right to use the licensed software is attested by a license document and is technically implemented by a license key. One — or more for high availability — license servers control — allow or deny and log — the use of the software on all computers connected to the local network. The right to use may be bound to a single computer (node-locked) or to the network (floating).

In the most simple case of node-locked licensing the main program of the licensed product starts a local license server automatically.

Installation and configuration of the license server are described in the manual of the Xlicense product.
