Licensing Overview

This topic provides an overview of licensing requirements and procedures for adTempus. See the License Agreement for the complete agreement that governs your use of the software.

License Requirements

adTempus is licenses based on the "server" (the computer running the adTempus service). One license is required for each computer on which the service is being run. No additional licenses are required for computers running only the Console or other client tools.

adTempus is not licensed based on the number of processors on the computer, or based on the processor architecture (32-bit or 64-bit).

If you are running more than one instance of adTempus on a single computer, only a single license is generally required.

To determine the license status of a server, connect to that server in the Console, then select About from the Help menu.

Distributed Scheduling Agent Licenses

When you use the Distributed Scheduling features of adTempus, you install the adTempus server software on the Master computer and on each Agent computer. Each of these computers requires its own adTempus license. For example, if you have a Master computer and two Agent computers, you need three adTempus licenses.

Two license options are available for Agent computers:

• A full adTempus license. An Agent with a full adTempus license can run jobs sent to it by the Master computer. However, it can also run jobs that are managed locally.
• A limited, agent-only license.  An Agent with an agent-only license can only run jobs sent to it by the Master computer. No jobs can be created or managed locally.

Evaluation Mode

If adTempus cannot find a valid license, it will run in "evaluation mode" for 30 days from the date when adTempus was first installed. During this time, adTempus is fully functional, so you can use all features. After 30 days adTempus will cease to run.

Entering License Information

To view or manage licenses for an adTempus server, run the "License Management" tool found in the adTempus program group on the Windows Start menu.

If you have lost your license information you can locate your license information using the online license management system at www.arcanadev.com/licensing.
