the license.
License file.
A user and system specific license file
is contained on a separate CD. During the initial start
of ESPRIT the user is prompted to provide this CD
for registration.
The license file (Licence.pdf) is stored to the server
computer; after completion the license CD should be
kept in a safe location.
Software options. Licenses control general access
to the ESPRIT software as well as installed options.
Selected options or the complete license can be
time-limited. Updated license files obtained from
Bruker Nano can be read in the
System workspace
(see section 4.7). Changes will be enabled after
restarting ESPRIT.
The license is also provided as hard copy. The
contents can be checked against the file, which can
be opened by any pdf-reader or from the
System
/
System workspace by clicking the button.
Hardware key. The system license is bound to a
system specific hardware key coded into the
QUANTAX server hardware. Client workstations can
receive certification from a licensed server via the
network. Standalone PCs (data stations) must be
equipped with an optional USB dongle replacing the
hardware coded key.
