Licensing in Prolifics
Prolifics components use local or remote licensing schemes and are defined as follows:
`Local licensing is when the license file for the application resides on the same machine as the Prolifics component being used.
`Remote licensing is when the license file for the application resides on a different machine from the Prolifics component being used.
The setup program recommends a default licensing scheme for each Prolifics component. If you accept the default, the setup program guides you through the appropriate steps to obtain a permanent license file. You can choose a different scheme if your license administrator recommends it. In this case, the setup program requests contact information, and the Prolifics License Desk will contact you or your license administrator to arrange for licensing. Default license schemes are:
