License service

The ELIAS License Service is a utility program (“EliasLicenseService”) and is required to run the full version of infra CONVERT. When running the installation wizard (“infra_CONVERT-Setup.exe” in the regular installation package), the license service is automatically installed locally on the computer. However, it can also be downloaded and installed separately (“EliasLicenseService-Setup.msi”).
 Siehe Homepage > Service > Download > Software > infra CONVERT > infra CONVERT Lizenzservice

The functions included in the purchased license scope are unlocked accordingly with the license service in infra CONVERT. Without activation infra CONVERT can only be used in the demo version.
 See At a glance > The range of functions basic and pro

The license service can be installed locally on the same machine where infra CONVERT is running.
 See User manual> Installation > Set up a local license

However, the license service can also be installed on any computer (server) in a network. Instances of infra CONVERT (clients, users) accessible via the network can then share a license. The clients compete for the seats (concurrent user license model).
 See User manual> Installation > Set up a server license

As a general rule, the license service must be continuously available during the use of infra CONVERT.

Enable port for the license service
