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 of the server, your license will be invalid. For example, this is the case when you change both the CPU and the motherboard at the same time. 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 License transfer to another computer with configuration saved). 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

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

License serverThe License server allows you to account for 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)

Software that creates virtual devices (such as VirtualBox, VmWare, and others) can cause the loss of the license. If you encounter this problem, we recommend removing all virtual devices from the computer's hardware tree or obtaining a new license file.
