Internal license server

Every user activates the same floating key and can then login into the system if the defined purchased number of floating licenses is not exceeded at this time.
The SOX-user must not disclose the key to third parties as the key allows anyone to use this floating license.
If SOX is not running properly anymore (e.g., because the user has just closed his notebook, or has no Internet connection), the user is automatically logged out of the server at the end of five minutes.

Each key is bound to the hardware ID of the computer on which the key is activated.
The key can be activated multiple times on the same hardware (e.g., if a user has deleted his SOX installation for some reason he can just re-activate it), but not on different hardware.
User should abstain from activating multiple keys on the same machine as this would bind all these keys to the same hardware ID.

Users can check-out a license for a certain period of time (e.g., one day or three days), and can subsequently work offline for this period of time.
Users need to be aware that they must check-out the license before going offline.
In the case of a floating license, the user is logged-in for the period of time, i.e., checking out a license reduces the available license number for the company for this period. In this case please be sure to return the checkout. Returning the checkout license is not possible as long as the client is offline.

Each key is bound to the hardware ID of the computer on which the key is activated. Please provide us with your hardware ID when requesting this license type. Your hardware ID can be found on the license tab of the SOX license manager by clicking the Copy ID to clipboard button.
