License Files

Office Connector uses two separate license files for each module - a Standard and Designer license for Query and Write.  Each license tracks its own information such as expiration dates and the maximum number of concurrent users.

Permissions

Each of the licenses correspond to a set of permitted actions.
LicenseDescription
Query StandardAllows the ability to refresh Timberline data.
Query DesignerAllows the ability to refresh Timberline data and use the Function and Query Wizards to mine data or create new reports.
Write StandardAllows the ability to send data to Timberline.
Write DesignerAllows the ability to send data to Timberline and to create new reports using the Write Wizard.

Floating Licenses

Office Connector stores its license files in the Event 1 System Folder, which is specified during the installation of the software.  This central location allows the license files to be shared by all users on the network.  License sharing allows Office Connector to implement a floating license scheme, so you can install the program as many times as you like without violating the license agreement.  A shared license also means that a given set of license keys only need to be entered once; the other machines on the network will automatically discover the new license status the next time that Excel is opened.

License Keys

As of version 2.2.x, managing license files has been greatly streamlined.   Use the Licensing command to display the Licensing window, which allows you to manage all of your license files in a single window.  Multiple sets of license keys can be automatically requested and entered for you in a single step using the online licensing feature.  As always, a single set of license keys automatically updates all users on the network when you use a shared license location.
