Node Locked versus Floating License

There are two different type of licensing for X-Win32:

Floating License Description:

Floating licenses are 10 -14 lines of text consisting of alphanumeric characters.

Floating licenses allow a license to be installed on any number of computers on a network.
A subset of computers on the network can run X-Win32 concurrently. If the number of licenses have been exceeded, X-Win32 will shutdown until a license on the network is freed up. Certain floating licenses may also subnet restrictions placed on them by the company’s account administrator.

Node Locked License:

Validation Number (VN) License:

Node locked licenses are generally 7 to 15 digits separated by one dash ie. 12345-6789

Node Locked licenses are directly tied to the hardware of the machine the X-Win32 license is installed on.
X-Win32 can be uninstalled and reinstalled any number of times on the same machine without using a second license.

However, changing hardware devices may cause a user to use up a registration.
Reformatting a hard drive and adding an extra NIC may also cause X-Win32 to
prompt a re-registration window in which the user will use up a registration. If your license fails to register, please contact technical support for a replacement license.
