REITEC Help

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.

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.

* 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.

• If there is no Internet connection, no license can be retrieved.

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.

• No network or Internet connection required.
• The license is always available.

• When renewing the maintenance contract, a new license file must be installed on each PC.

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

• No internet connection is required.

• 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.

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.
