Licensing TFORMer

Apply a license to TFORMer SDk.

Overview

Licensing is required to remove all demo restrictions of TFORMer SDK.

Usually, TFORMer SDK is licensed per code, using one of the provided SDK licensing methods.

Alternatively, you can also provide the license information via INI-file or via the Windows registry.
In this case TFORMer SDK tries to read the license information in the specified order (the first found license information will be used):

1. INI-file from the app module directory (where the executable is located)
2. INI-file from the runtime directory (where the TFORMer runtime is located)
3. INI-file from ProgramData directory
4. Registry

The following license types are available:

License Types

Name	Description
Single, Workstation	Single or Workstation license (exactly one installation on a machine identified by the System ID).
Developer	Developer license (for client-applications only, allows redistribution with limits according to the license agreement.
Server	Server license (installation on application or web server, user limits according to the license agreement).

Licenses are valid until a given expiration date.

Note:

For Developer Licenses, the distributed library remains fully functional after the license expires. However, access to updates and new builds is limited to the license validity period.

Please note that the license information must be treated as confidential.

Note:

Don't redistribute your received INI-file or registry keys. When using TFORMer SDK in your own client application we recommend using programmatic licensing, which allows you to securely embed or protect your license key.

Licensing per Code

Use one of the provided TFORMer SDK licensing methods (e.g. license). The licensing method must be called prior to any output generating method like print.

Licensing per INI-File

The license file TFORMer.ini is either delivered with the license e-mail or can be requested from our support.

If you are using the TFORMer SDK setup with the default installation path, we recommend to provide the INI-file in one of the following directories, so the license will be applied automatically.

• On Windows copy the INI-file to the TFORMer SDK Bin directory:
  C:\Program Files\TEC-IT\TFORMer9 SDK\Bin
C:\Program Files (x86)\TEC-IT\TFORMer9 SDK\Bin
• On Linux/UNIX copy the INI-file to the directory
  usr/local/share/TFORMer9

If you are using a custom installation path or if the SDK files are included directly in your web or server application, please copy the INI-file to your TFORMer DLL installation directory.

Licensing per Registry

Enter the license information in the HKCU hive of the registry HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\TEC-IT Datenverarbeitung GmbH\TFORMer\9
For detailed information, please contact TEC-IT.

If you need machine-wide licensing (for multiple users on the same computer), please contact support@tec-it.com.
