===== Licensing =====

{{:testplaninv:38:administration:admin_options_041_en.png?437|}}
After a 30-day trial period, Reitec.Testplan must be licensed. The various licensing methods are explained below, along with their respective advantages and disadvantages. \\ \\ \\ \\ \\ \\

<note important> With Reitec.Testplan, the CAD add-ins and the author are licensed per workstation.</note>

==== Cloud licensing ====

With cloud licensing, a connection to our cloud server is established when the program is started and a license is searched for. If a free license is available, it is reserved for the workstation. Otherwise, the license must be available for this workstation.

=== Advantages of cloud licensing ===
* No installation of license components on your own servers necessary.
  * A license can always be retrieved if there is an existing Internet connection.
  * No administrative tasks are necessary when renewing the maintenance contract.

=== Disadvantages of cloud licensing ===
  * If there is no Internet connection, no license can be retrieved.

==== Single-user licensing ====
With single-user licensing, each PC on which Reitec.PMM is installed must be licensed. Activation takes place in the program under Help -> Activate License. Here, the user selects a license file sent to them by us.

=== Advantages of single-user licensing ===
  * No network or Internet connection required.
  * The license is always available.

=== Disadvantages of single-user licensing ===
  * When renewing the maintenance contract, a new license file must be installed on each PC.

==== Network licensing ====

With network licensing, as with cloud licensing, licenses for workstations are managed on the server. Network licensing requires the installation of our free   [[en:license:start|license service]] on your own server.

=== Advantages of network licensing ===
  * No internet connection is required.

=== Disadvantages of network licensing ===
  * The free Reitec license service must be installed on a server.
  * If the license service runs on a virtual machine and the hardware properties change, a new license file must be requested and installed, as the previous license will no longer be valid.
  * When renewing the maintenance contract, a new license file must be imported.

==== Which method should be chosen ====

Depending on the use of Reitec.PMM and the infrastructure in the company, a different licensing method may be more suitable.

**Cloud licensing** should be chosen if
  * Reitec.Testplan is installed on multiple PCs.
  * No additional effort is desired for installing the license service.

**Single-user licensing** should be selected if
  * No Internet or network connection is available.
  * Reitec.Testplan is only used on one or a few PCs.
  * The license should always be available.

**Network licensing** should be selected if
  * License management is to be carried out within your own network.
  * Reitec.Testplan is installed on multiple PCs.
