Generally, licensing requires two things:
- License key
- Corresponding authorization file
The license key can be provided via a USB dongle or via a network softlock on a central company server. For licensing from a client, it is necessary to have a permanent connection to the server. Once a license has been assigned, it is visible on the web-based license interface at http://localhost:1947/_int_/sessions.html.
The automatic time-out after 12 hours of inactivity prevents the license from being permanently assigned and releases it to other users.
With the most recent generation of license keys, it is possible to activate 50 licenses for each program and add-on module. This means that you can access RFEM and RF‑STEEL EC3 from a maximum of 50 computers at the same time.
