Scope

  • Perpetual license keys are used to identify customers of a Commercial License for support by SOS.
  • Trial license keys are issued by SOS and enable unrestricted use of the software for a limited duration.
  • Open Source License keys ship with the softwareare and allow use within the scope of the license.

Application of License Keys

Adding License Keys

  • The license key is required for the operation of JobScheduler and is entered during the JobScheduler setup procedure.
    • Please enter the key when requested during the setup dialog.
  • If you need to change the license key after you have set up JobScheduler then please copy the new key and insert it into your ./config/sos.ini configuration file as follows:

    [licence]
    key1=SOS-DEMO-1-L54-4-7-22-???????

    This sample does not show a valid license key, please check your installation package that ships with a valid open source license key.
  • You have to restart JobScheduler after the licence key has been changed.
  • The key will then be checked and validated while JobScheduler is restarting.

Use of multiple License Keys

  • Depending on the product and component in use you might receive multiple license keys from SOS at different points in time.
  • In such a case please add newly received license keys to the list of existing keys like this:

    [licence]
    key1=SOS-DEMO-1-L54-4-7-22-???????
    key2=SOS-DEMO-1-L54-4-7-23-???????

    Each license key is added i an individual like with the key1, key2, key3, ... configuration item. 

Handling of License Keys for JobScheduler Agents

  • JobScheduler Agents come with zero configuration, therefore no license keys are stored with the installation of an Agent.
  • Licenses keys for Agents are stored with the JobScheduler Master. The available license keys are handed over by the Master to the Agent before job execution. The Agent then checks if the license key is valid and applicable for the respective job.

License Usage

License Counting

  • License keys do not implement technical license counting. SOS estimates it a risk that due to missing internet connections or use in restricted environments the license counting could fail and prevent the software from running.
  • You can technically use the same license key for any number of JobScheduler instances. However, this might not comply with the commercial license terms that are applied for the license model for your environment. 

License Measurement

  • SOS reserves the right to perform license measurement activities. 
  • The license measurement procedure verfies the number of software instances and licenses in use.
  • Based on individual agreements for the license model that applies to your environment the license measurement procedure can be performed on a regular basis.
