Alternative Licensing Models

We offer two main alternatives to the conventional licensing mechanism, which is tied to per PC based on its MachineID (unique identifier for every PC)

This is a new licensing model to deal with environments such as AWS where the hosted servers where they constantly change their machine ID (which is tied to the licence) and as a result the licence activated becomes invalid; which has becomes a problem for developers to re-activate the licence on their customers' system.

Activating licences

There are many different ways to activate a DicomObjects or XdsObjects licence:

  1. Programmatically
  2. Licence manager
  3. Offline activation
  4. Application signing licence
