License Manager
The FlexPro License Manager shows you what FlexPro licenses are available on your computer and network and allows you to select a license and to specify the preferred FlexPro configuration, consisting of the edition and options.
Single User License
When launching FlexPro after completing the installation, an evaluation license is installed on your computer, which gives you 30 days to try it out. An Internet connection is required in order to download the evaluation license. You will need to activate the license as soon as the evaluation period expires in order to continue using the complete version of FlexPro. Without a valid license, FlexPro runs in reader mode. Activation will permanently link the purchased single user license to the computer. To activate the license, use the product key supplied with FlexPro. This will allow you to activate the software for personal use up to two times. For instance, you can install and activate FlexPro on your desktop computer and on a laptop. You can activate FlexPro online by communicating directly with the Weisang activation server, or you can activate it offline by swapping files. You can also deactivate a license. The license will then be credited to your product key and you can install FlexPro on a different computer.
Important note: Single user licenses cannot be used on a virtual machine or a terminal server session. If you install a single user license on a virtual machine, it will be activated there, but will not work. You will lose one activation!
Network License
A network license, also known as a concurrent use license or floating license, is usually installed on a server by the network administrator and limits the number of concurrent users. When launching FlexPro, the license is requested by the server, and when you close FlexPro, the license is then available once more to other users. If you have set up FlexPro to use a network license, you must connect to this server as long as FlexPro is running. There are also FlexPro network licenses available that let you check out, i.e. transfer, the license to your local computer for a period of 120 days.
Dongle-based Licenses
Weisang can also provide the license with a USB dongle for an extra charge. This type of license is not tied to the computer, but is instead tied to the USB dongle and can be moved to a different computer by simply inserting the dongle into a USB port.
Note: More information about the License Manager is available in the document Installing and Using the FlexPro License Manager.
