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.
