InEight Estimate on Premise - Borrowing License Overview

Summary

Not only does Estimate's software licensing solution make it easier for you as the end user, it also gives additional flexibility and control to your technology staff in the customization and management of your licenses from one central location.

Like hardware based licensing solutions, Estimate's software licensing solution provides both individual (standalone) licenses and network licenses. In addition, unlike hardware based licensing solutions, Estimate also provides a feature that lets you borrow network licenses that can be used for a specified amount of time while you are disconnected from the network.

Estimate's network license borrowing feature lets you use your existing network licenses on a computer that is disconnected from the network. For example, you can use the license on a laptop computer that you can take out of the office to the field, bid openings, or at home.

Network License

A Network license is one that provides many module licenses in one central location that are shared amongst all Estimate users connected to the network. Network module licenses are transportable. Network module licenses lets you borrow one of the module licenses for a specified period of time. After that period of time expires, the license is then returned to the module license central location on the network for other users on the same network to access.
