| Licenses |
Registration
AreaList Pro requires a registration key to unlock the product making it a full working version.
Without the registration key, AreaList Pro will operate in demonstration mode during 20 minutes.
Registering AreaList Pro is easier than ever. The demonstration mode dialog now includes an "eMail" button to send us the serialization information that we need to generate your license.
Once you receive your license, click on the new "Register" button and enter / paste it. You're all set.
The "ALP9.license4Dplugin" license document will be created or updated in your 4D license folder with your registration key and AreaList Pro will be registered.
This feature is not available for OEM unlimited and Partner licenses.
License types
Like all e-Node plug-ins, AreaList Pro offers several license types. There are no such things as MacOS vs Windows or Development vs Deployment:
Single-user license. This license allows development (interpreted mode) or deployment (interpreted or compiled mode, except merged) on 4D Standalone or 4D SQL Desktop. Since the registration key is linked to a specific 4D license, you need to provide the number returned by the "Copy" or "eMail" buttons from the plugin demonstration mode alert (this number is actually the 4D command GET SERIAL INFORMATION first parameter). A new license will be supplied for free at any time if you change your 4D version and / or get a new 4D registration key, provided that your previous licenses match the current public version at the exchange time.
Server licenses. These licenses allow development (interpreted mode) or deployment (interpreted or compiled mode, except merged servers) on 4D Server with up to 10 users ("small server"), 11 to 20 users ("medium server") or more ("large server"). The registration key is linked to your 4D Server license just as above. The Server upsize item means switching from a Small server to a Medium server, or from a Medium server to a Large server.
Merged licenses. These licenses are designed for single user compiled/merged applications built with 4D Volume Desktop (one license per workstation) or for merged server and related client applications (one license per server). They are linked to the machine ID (server or single user workstation), not the 4D serial number.
Unlimited Single User. This license allows development (interpreted mode) or deployment (interpreted or compiled mode, including merged) on any number of single user 4D application(s). This is a yearly license, which expires after the date when it is to be renewed. The expiration only affects interpreted mode. Compiled applications using an obsolete license will never expire.
Unlimited OEM. This license allows development (interpreted mode) or deployment (interpreted or compiled mode, including merged) on any number of 4D Servers (any number of users), 4D Standalone, 4D SQL Desktop or merged copies that run your 4D application(s). This is a yearly license, which expires after the date when it is to be renewed. The expiration only affects interpreted mode. Compiled applications using an obsolete license will never expire.
Partner License. This license matches 4D's annual Partner subscription and covers all the plug-ins published by e-Node, including AreaList Pro, SuperReport Pro, PrintList Pro and CalendarSet. A single registration key allows development (interpreted mode) or deployment (interpreted or compiled mode, except merged) on all 4D Standalones and 4D Servers (2 users) provided by your 4D Partner license. No merged applications. This is a yearly license, which expires on February 1st (same date as your 4D Partner licenses). The expiration only affects interpreted mode. Compiled applications using an obsolete license will never expire.
AreaList Pro version 9.5 is a free upgrade from v9.0: existing v9.x licenses will activate version 9.5.
Discounted upgrade prices are available for registered AreaList Pro version 8.x users.
Upgrades from versions 8.3 to 8.5 (single user or server) are available at 70 EUR each
Version 8.5 licenses acquired as of June 21st, 2011 are eligible to a free upgrade. |
