User:Jcreer/Aquaveo License Service

The new Aquaveo License Service protection (ALS protection) replaces the old Sentinel and password protection (SAP protection) with a design which:

• Eliminates hardware locks and drivers.
• Allows virtual machine and servers to be used without restriction.
• Enforces the expiration date of evaluation or checked licenses.
• Detects the overuse of evaluation or checked licenses.
• Still allows customers to share a license within a user session.
• Still allows customers to move a license between computers.
• Still allows customers to share a network license.
• Still allows Aquaveo to create non-network licenses.
• Could detect the overuse of non-checked licenses or warn user when not verified. (currently disabled)
