TinyTERM and TinyTERM Plus are normally licensed per installed seat. This means that a five-user license is valid for five installed PCs. It does not matter how many connections are made through TinyTERM on a single PC, only how many times it’s installed.
Per seat is the only licensing method for the following:
- TERM for Macintosh (discontinued), and
- TERM for Linux Desktop
All versions TinyTERM and TERM for DOS can be network installed with concurrent licensing. So can TinyTERM for Windows versions up to 3.2, and TERM for Windows versions up to 7.2. This involves installing most of the TinyTERM files to a network share, with only a few on the PC’s hard drive. A set number of users can then run TinyTERM simultaneously.
All versions of TinyTERM Thin Client, and TinyTERM Plus version 4.40 or higher, when installed in a terminal server environment, are also licensed for concurrent users. This means that a 40-user license will allow 40 users to run TinyTERM at a time. The 41st user will get a message that all licenses are in use.
TinyTERM Web Server and TERM for UNIX/Linux are licensed per server. Any number of users up to the maximum the server supports may use these products simultaneously. TinyTERM Web Server does require that each user have the TinyTERM Web Server Client installed, unless the PC has a license for TinyTERM or TinyTERM Plus.
No Century Software, Inc., product is licensed per user. If only one person needs TinyTERM, for example, but needs it both on an office PC and a home PC, then a two-seat license must be purchased.
