Licensing overview
The
Universal Desktop OS 2
needs its own licenses! The licenses for the previous
IGEL Universal Desktop
OS
are not valid for the new firmware. Conversely, the new licenses are not valid for the old firmware.
The licenses are linked to the MAC address of the target system and cannot be transferred to another
system.
The new licenses can be found on the SIM card for the UDC stick. If you have downloaded the firmware
from the Internet or distributed it via the UDC2Stick.exe file, the licenses for your target computers must be
ordered from
IGEL Technology
.
More information is available here
(page 21).
However, the previous licenses will not lose their validity. This means that you can install the previous
version of the current firmware at any time and continue working with the previous licenses.
You have the following options for installing and licensing the
Universal Desktop OS 2
firmware on your
target devices:
Installing firmware
Licensing
A Directly on the target device via UDC stick
Via SIM card in the UDC stick
B Directly on the target device via USB stick with
UCD2Stick.exe
Distributing a license from the SIM card
or ready-to-use licenses from
IGEL
Technology
via the UMS
C Distributing via
deployment appliance
D Distributing via
RIS deployment
If you reinstall the UDC firmware via the UDC stick, you will merely need to insert the SIM card into the UDC
stick. During the installation, a license file for your hardware will be generated on the UDC stick with the
help of a license from the SIM card.

(page 6).
In all of the cases described above, you can distribute the licenses via the
IGEL Universal Management
Suite
.
