Stand-alone and Network Licensing for Project Commander
Choose the best licensing option for your circumstances: stand-alone, network or a combination of the two.
Stand-alone licence
Each stand-alone installation is registered separately. Each licence covers one install on one computer plus an extra install, for the registered user only, to cover a second PC (for a laptop or home PC).
Network and mixed licences
Network licences are based on the number of concurrent users – which means the number of users that want to access the software at the same time. You can install the client software on any number of client computers (once the server software has been installed) but the number of concurrent users will be controlled.
A single user licence entitles you to either a stand-alone or network installation. With the network option you can install the client software on any number of workstations – but only one person will be able to use it at once.
Total licences can be shared between stand-alone and network users.
Note: Both products come with a free Project Viewer so you will not need to purchase any licences for users who merely need to view and/or print reports.
Unlimited licence conditions
The licence allows the programme to be copied onto any number of computers owned by your organisation. We will provide one special install code to activate the software, which would need to be controlled by a person or the main IT department. We would not give out this code to your employees – they would contact whoever is responsible for delegation of the code. Alternatively, we will provide a pre-registered version to allow imaging or remote silent installations.
An unlimited licence includes one master downlaod that can be copied for use by all employees and temporary contract staff that are involved in work for that company site or on any PC that is owned by the organization, in that company site. Project Commander may also be run on a network – installation procedures are written in the manual.
We waive the copyright of the manual, you are free to photocopy or reproduce parts of the manual and disk without obligation at the purchaser’s expense.
In special agreed circumstances, PMSC will allow users or PC’s away from the designated site address to be covered under this agreement. This covers workers that are based at client sites, other company offices or work from home/abroad.
At the time of ordering (or as soon as possible), it is the client’s responsibility to clarify this issue – as PMSC reserves the right to refuse granting use outside the nominated address.
Restrictions
No employee should be allowed to copy software or manuals for his own personal use, for commercial resale or to provide services for unassociated colleagues.
The company should take reasonable precautions to ensure that the software is not put on non company computers, but if it is then it has the responsibility to ensure that the software is removed should an employee or contract worker leave their employment.
If the employee needs to copy the software on to his/her own PC at home, that is allowed, but the company must guard against unauthorized use and demonstrate all reasonable precautions have been taken to avoid fraud.
Fraud
Each install has a UNIQUE serial code that is recorded. If any unauthorized person attempts to install a copy, PMSC will prosecute the owner of the Serial Number for fraudulent practice.
