Dongle Licence
For this option, a physical USB dongle holds a Tracker Licence and needs to be plugged into the Track Engine computer.
The physical USB dongle acts as the licence file and can only be used for Local trackers, not On-Board.
Due to the complexity of using USB devices on virtual machines, the dongle is best suited for physical systems only.
It enables easy licencing of trackers on different systems and can provide support for cold failover
The dongle licence will define a number of trackers that can run concurrently on the physical server.
It is a legacy method for licensing trackers running locally on Track Engines. We now recommend using centralised licencing for both Local and On-Board tracking.
This option is still useful for our partners and demo systems where a variety of hardware is used for short periods.
Does not support automatic software failover but can be used for cold standby setups where the dongle is manually transferred between hardware systems.
File Licence
A licence file is used in place of the dongle and is locked to the MAC address of the host system; therefore, it cannot be transferred between physical servers, virtual machines or radar.
...
Copy the licence file to C:\ of the track engine server(s).
Rename the file to cp-spx.lic.
Database Licence
This option utilises a licence file but makes deployment easier by storing the file in the Witness configuration database. The software will apply the licence automatically and therefore it does not need to be installed onto any other devices or servers. You require one licence file per tracker/radar.
