PASS/NOZZLE-FEM 3.5. Program Manual

2.4. Software copy protection

The PASS/NOZZLE-FEM program is protected from unauthorized copying. The protection lies in the fact that the program, while running, checks for the presence of an available and valid license and, if it is missing, displays a corresponding message.

2.4.1. License providers

A license for a program can be supplied by several types of license providers:

License provider Description

Can be local or network.
Installation of drivers is required for network dongles (see section "Network dongles").

The more detailed description can be found in the section "Internet license".
Trial License Trial license This is a temporary Web-license that can be obtained directly from the program.
Requires Internet connection and PASS ID for authentication.

The type and parameters of the license provider used are stored in a text file (license.txt). If the user has several different licenses, he can easily switch between them simply by pointing to different license files in the program.
