Licensing Model in Centerprise 8

Single license key model

We have introduced a new single license key model for Centerprise 8. Unlike the previous versions of Astera Centerprise, you will now only need a single licensing key (for server) to register and unlock both Centerprise client and server applications.

The license key provided to you contains information about how many clients can connect to a single server as well functionality available to the connected clients.

Note: You cannot use your existing set of keys (from version 6 or 7). If you are planning to migrate from version 7 (or earlier) to version 8, please contact sales@astera.com, as you will need a new license key.

Unlocking Centerprise 8 using your license key

After you have configured the server, and logged in with the admin credentials, the last step is to insert your license key.

1. Go to Tools > Manage License. Or you can access the License Management window from the Server Explorer.
