The following are types of the TI software licences.
Single Licences
A Single licence 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 licence.
Volume Licences
A Volume licence is a multi-user licence that provides TI software usage on a per-user and per-computer basis.
It is a single licence that manages a pool of seats, the number of which is specified at the time of purchase. The pool can be divided into multiple licence numbers, such as three numbers, each managing 10 seats, in a 30-seat Volume licence.
The TI software is installed on each computer in the pool. The licence 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 licence.
Concurrent Licences
A Concurrent licence is a single licence number that is installed on the licence-service computer that is running the TI-Admin software and is used to manage seat usage.
With a Concurrent licence, the TI software can be installed on all school computers and used when a seat is available:
| • | When a user opens the software, the licence 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 Licences
A Multi-Activation Licence is a multi-user licence that provides TI software usage on a per-user and per-computer basis.
The licence 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 licence 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 licence, the software on each computer must be activated periodically:
| • | The licence can be purchased as perpetual (renewed for a new time period at no additional cost), or it can be purchased as a non-renewable subscription. |
| • | The subscription renewal produces a new licence file that must be deployed to the computers running the TI software. |
School-Managed Licences
The School-Managed licence is a multi-user licence that provides TI software usage on a per-user (teacher or student) and per-computer basis.
The School-Managed licence is managed centrally and activated on the licence-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 licence-service computer and seats are available. |
| • | The computer is away from the network, but has connected successfully to the licence-service computer within the last 30 days. |
An Internet connection is required to install and activate the TI-Admin software on the licence-service computer. The computers running the TI software must be connected through the school network to the licence-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 licence, the licence service is activated periodically:
| • | The licence can be purchased as perpetual (renewed for a new time period at no additional cost), or it can be purchased as a non-renewable subscription. |
| • | The subscription renews with a new licence number that must be activated to the licence-service computer. |
