We offer two licensing options for ITScriptNet Solution Packs, plus two demo modes.
Full LicensesA Single User license installs the Solution Pack using SQL Compact Edition on a single PC. Only that PC can access the databases, and the ITScriptNet Omni Server runs on that PC as well. This mode works well for smaller customers who only need access to the data from a single PC. Device Licenses are registered on each device to allow them to collect unlimited records.
The Multi User license installs the Solution Pack using SQL Server, either by installing SQL Express directly on the PC, or by allowing a connection to an existing SQL Server elsewhere on the network. In addition, a License Server is installed that allows other PCs on the network to access the data as well. This allows any number of PCs to use the database maintenance screens, run reports, etc. However the OMNI Server is only required on the main PC. Device Licenses are registered on each device to allow them to collect unlimited records.
Demo modesA Solution Pack with no license runs in demo mode. The demo can use either SQL Server (Multiuser mode) or SQL Compact Edition (Single User Mode). However, no database editing can be performed on the PC, and only 10 records can be collected on the device. This mode allows a user to get a feel for how the Solution Pack works, and will allow uploading and downloading of the Sample Data that ships with the Solution Pack.
We also offer a Reseller License for resellers to demo the Solution Pack. This is a Single User license only (SQL Compact Edition), as is intended for installation on a laptop that the reseller can take on the road to customer calls. This edition does allow database editing, but is limited to 10 records in the Item/Customer/Location tables. The Device is also limited to collecting 10 records unless a device license is registered on the device.
