Managing Licenses

Licensing

To fully benefit from MDT Professional Edition in Smallworld™ GIS application development it must be registered and activated.
There are several types of licenses provided with MDT Professional Edition:

Trial License which is time limited license to use MDT Professional Edition. The license may be activated only once on a particular computer and does not allow to access MDT upgrades.
Single User License which allows you to install and use MDT Professional Edition on a single computer.
Portable License which allows you to install and use MDT Professional Edition on any computer with the Hardware Key attached to it.
Floating License which enables a fixed number of users to simultaneously use MDT. System uses a license server which is issuing a license to any client computer that requests one. If the number of user requests exceeds the number of floating licenses purchased, a user will need to wait until one of the active MDT users closes MDT on their computer so that the license is returned to the license server.
Annual Maintenance License which provides free MDT Professional Edition updates and free technical support for 1 year.

For more information refer to MDT website.
