Root Licensing Server

Introduction

All SMath products that require a license get it by default from our main portal https://smath.com/, also known as the Root Licensing Server.

Free License

Even if you use the free version of SMath Studio, you have to get a license. A special Free license is configured on the Root Licensing Server for this purpose. This is why you need a permanent connection to the Root Licensing Server.

Note: Offline Mode may be configured to avoid permanent Internet connection requirement.

Local Licensing Server

Local Licensing Server also requires a connection to the Root Licensing Server in order to get information about the licenses configured for this particular server. The only difference is that Local Licensing Server does not require a permanent connection. It only needs to contact the Root Licensing Server at least once a day.

Note: Offline Mode may be also configured for Local Licensing Server to avoid Internet connection requirement.
