Licensing

When installing Orbit GIS, a temporary license is created allowing evaluation for 30 days. This does require access to your system's registry for which you require administrator permission. Use these days to evaluate and get a permanent license.

Every license is bound to a key on your system. The bind and its key is embedded in any permanent license you obtain.

Bind to Registry : the license will function only on this machine, bound to the current installation of the operating system.

Bind to Network Hardware : the license is bound to a unique code identifying the network adaptor. You can move your license together with the network adaptor to another machine. WARNING: the network adaptor identification is not available when the network cable is not plugged in on some platforms. This bind type is not advised for portable computers.

Bind to USB Dongle : the license is bound to a USB dongle (purchase separately). You can move your license as easily as you move the USB dongle.

Bind to License Server : the license is managed by the license server. There is no local installation of a license required. You can run on any machine that can connect to the license server. The license server keeps track of the amount of instances running in correlation to the license served.

Choose a bind method, then click on the 'Request License' button. This button will send an email requesting a permanent license. Add your identification (i.e. your identification/login on the orbitgis.com website) and your payment reference to the message for quick identification. When payment is received, a permanent license is returned to the sender.
Licenses are listed in your personal space on www.orbitgis.com. Login and go to 'My Licenses'.
To activate the permanent license :

In the License Editor, Clear the license field. Then copy the license key from the email message and paste it in the License field. Now click 'Validate' to validate the new license. You now have a permanent license installed.
