The following are types of the TI software licenses.
Single Licenses
A Single license is valid for the TI software installed on a Single computer. It is activated when you begin using the software.
An Internet connection is required for activating the license.
Volume Licenses
A Volume license is a multiuser license that provides TI software usage on a per-user and per-computer basis.
It is a single license that manages a pool of seats, the number of which is specified at the time of purchase. The pool can be divided into multiple license numbers, such as three numbers, each managing 10 seats, in a 30-seat Volume license.
The TI software is installed on each computer in the pool. The license number stays with the computer by default and is activated when the TI software is opened on that computer.
A connection to the Internet is required for activating the license.
Concurrent Licenses
A Concurrent license is a single license number that is installed on the license-service computer that is running the TI-Admin software and is used to manage seat usage.
With a Concurrent license, the TI software can be installed on all school computers and used when a seat is available:
| • | When a user opens the software, the license service checks out an unused seat to the user. |
| • | When the user closes the software, the seat is returned to the pool. |
This process applies up to the maximum number of seats that were specified at the time of purchase.
An Internet connection is required to install and activate the
Multi-Activation Licenses
A Multi-Activation License is a multiuser license that provides TI software usage on a per-user and per-computer basis.
The license is delivered in a file, which is placed in a specified location on computers where the software is installed.
The file is used to activate the software, and users do not receive a license number.
For computers using the TI software, connections to the Internet and the school network are not required. Software can be installed through hard-disk imaging and other deployment methods.
For the Multi-Activation license, the software on each computer must be activated periodically:
| • | The license can be purchased as perpetual (renewed for a new time period at no additional cost), or it can be purchased as a nonrenewable subscription. |
| • | The subscription renewal produces a new license file that must be deployed to the computers running the TI software. |
School-Managed Licenses
The School-Managed license is a multiuser license that provides TI software usage on a per-user (teacher or student) and per-computer basis.
The School-Managed license is managed centrally and activated on the license-service computer that is connected to the school network.
When a user opens the software, it can be run if these connectivity requirements are met:
| • | The computer is connected to the license-service computer and seats are available. |
| • | The computer is away from the network, but has connected successfully to the license-service computer within the last 30 days. |
An Internet connection is required to install and activate the TI-Admin software on the license-service computer. The computers running the TI software must be connected through the school network to the license-service computer to manage seats.
Software can be installed on the computers running the TI software through hard-disk imaging and other deployment methods.
For the School-Managed license, the license service is activated periodically:
| • | The license can be purchased as perpetual (renewed for a new time period at no additional cost), or it can be purchased as a nonrenewable subscription. |
| • | The subscription renews with a new license number that must be activated to the license-service computer. |
