Geocentrix is pleased to offer flexible licensing for all our
geotechnical design programs.
All of Geocentrix's software programs can now be licensed using USB
or parallel-port security keys (dongles) on standalone or network
computers.
Network licences offer even greater flexibility
Advantages of a network licence:
- Software can be installed on as many workstations ('clients') as you wish, provided they are connected via a network
- Licences are controlled by a centralised Licence Manager (using software supplied by Geocentrix)
- No need to move the security key to activate a program on a particular workstation
- Enables you to run multiple copies of the same program at the same time (provided you have the necessary number of licences)
- Licence Manager and network security key can be kept under central control (e.g. by your IT department) to avoid potential loss

 USB security key
Advantages of a USB key:
- Easy to move from one computer to another (simply
plug into any USB socket)
- Ideal for laptop computers
that come without a parallel port
- Fit into a pocket or attach to a key ring, for maximum portability
(great for out-of-office use)
- No need to daisy-chain with other parallel
keys and/or printer cables

 Parallel-port
security key
Advantages of a parallel-port key:
- Fixed (via screws) to a single computer, so not easily lost
- Ideal for legacy computers that come without a USB port
- Won't interfere with printers despite need to daisy-chain
with other parallel keys and/or printer cables
