There are several licensing methods for Axxon One:

Licensing methodDescription
License file only

The license file contains the data on basic hardware configuration (motherboard, CPU, hard disk, video adapter, RAM, and network card) of all Servers. If you change any two basic hardware components, your license will be invalid. For example, this is the case when you change both CPU and motherboard. However, changing a graphics card or upgrading RAM will not affect the license.

This is why, when working with Axxon One, consider the following:

    1. The activation request must be sent from the computer that will host the Axxon One Server.
    2. You can upgrade your license only if you saved the initial basic hardware configuration of all Servers.
    3. It is not possible to transfer a license from one computer to another.
License file and Guardant dongle

This method allows replacing the Server hardware and transferring the license to another computer (see Transferring a license to another computer while maintaining configuration). To activate Axxon One via this method, contact AxxonSoft to receive a license file and Guardant dongle.

If you already have a Guardant dongle, you can perform activation yourself. To do this, connect the Guardant dongle to the computer that you wish to activate and perform the standard activation steps.

Attention!

You can use a Guardant Sign dongle only on Linux OS.

License ServerThe License Server allows you to account available and used licenses (see General information about the License Server). You can use a public (see Public License Server) or a private License Server (see Private License Server)

Attention!

Software that creates virtual devices (such as VirtualBox, VmWare, and others) may lead to the loss of the license. If you encounter this problem, it is recommended to remove all virtual devices from the computer's hardware tree or obtain a new license file.
