REITEC Help

After a trial period of 30 days, the PRO version of Reitec.PMM must be licensed. The different licensing methods are explained below and the respective advantages and disadvantages are listed.

With cloud licensing, a connection to our cloud server is established when the programme is started and a free licence is searched for. If a licence is available, it is blocked for other users until the programme is closed again. If all purchased licences are already locked by other users, an error message appears stating that no free licence is available.

• Multiple users can share licences.
• No installation of licence components on own servers necessary.
• With an existing internet connection and free licences, a licence can always be retrieved.
• No administrative activities are necessary when renewing the maintenance contract.

• If there is no internet connection, no licence can be retrieved.

For single-user licensing, each PC on which Reitec.PMM is installed must be licensed. Activation takes place in the programme under Help → Activate licence. Here the user selects a licence file sent to him by us.

• No network or internet connection necessary.
• The licence is always available.

• Licence is only valid for one PC.
• A new licence file must be imported when the maintenance contract is renewed.

With network licensing, as with cloud licensing, licences are blocked when the programme is started and released again when it is closed. Network licensing requires the installation of our free licence service on a separate server.

• Several users can share licences.
• No internet connection is necessary.

• The free Reitec licence service must be installed on a server.
• If the licence service runs on a virtual machine and the hardware properties change, a new licence file must be requested and imported, as the previous licence loses its validity.
• If the maintenance contract is renewed, a new licence file must be imported.

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