Purchasing Floating License

September 20, 2014, 6:04 pm by admin

The Floating License allows for the installation of HSMAdvisor on multiple computers, but it can only be used simultaneously on the number of computers that correspond to the number of seats purchased.

This licensing scheme is ideal for cases where HSMAdvisor has to be installed on large number of computers and used by few individuals concurrently.

With the Permanent License, each seat can only be used on the computer it was purchased for.

This licensing scheme is ideal for cases when HSMAdvisor has to be installed on a computer that is not connected to the internet. Or when the customer does not wish to use the subscription system.

How HSMAdvisor Floating License Works

October 6, 2019, 5:25 pm by admin

Floating License Overview

The Floating License is ideal for users with internet access. It offers flexibility by allowing you to use HSMAdvisor on multiple computers and easily transfer the license without needing to send requests.

How It Works:

  1. Activation: To activate a Floating License, simply enter your First Name, Last Name, and Email in HSMAdvisor and click "Automatic Registration." HSMAdvisor will connect to the licensing server and reserve a seat for your computer.
  2. License Parking: The seat will be "parked" on your computer for 10 minutes or longer, depending on the settings. As long as HSMAdvisor is running, it will ping the server every 10 minutes to renew the seat. If the seat is not renewed, it will become available for use by another computer.
  3. Managing Parking Period: The parking period can be set anywhere from 10 minutes to 30 days. After the parking period expires, the license is released, and you can either renew it on the same computer or move it to another by repeating the activation steps.
  4. Multiple Seat Licenses: If you need to use HSMAdvisor on more than one computer at the same time, a multiple-seat license allows you to lease seats from a pool of available licenses. This makes it easy to allocate and manage licenses across multiple devices.

License Transfers & Changes:

  • Once issued, the parking period cannot be shortened until it expires. However, if you need to urgently renew a license on a different computer (e.g., due to computer upgrades or job changes), I can reset parked seats for you.
  • If you’re using multiple seats, the system will allocate an available seat from the pool when needed, making it simple to switch between devices.

Summary:

The Floating License is flexible and convenient, allowing you to use HSMAdvisor on any computer with internet access, manage parking periods, and transfer licenses with ease. For multiple users, a multiple-seat license lets you lease available seats from a pool.

Transferring FSWizard PRO to another device

February 1, 2023, 12:26 am by admin

FSWizard PRO can be purchased from the app stores like iTunes and Google Play or from our website, HSMAdvisor.com. The process to download and activate the app will depend on where you bought it.

  • If you purchased the app on iTunes or Google Play and want to move it to the same platform, the licensing is managed by their app stores. You can download the app by signing in to either iTunes or Google Play with the account used to purchase FSWizard PRO without the need to pay again.
  • However, if you purchased the app on iTunes and want to use it on your Android phone or vice versa, contact us, and we will issue you a cross-platform license, which can be used on any platform. Attach your name and any proof of purchase to your email message.
  • If you bought the app directly from our hsmadvisor.com website, you will receive an email with instructions on how to activate your FSWizard PRO license. Check your email or follow the detailed instructions available here.
