Starting from MiTS 2.8 version, we introduce a few more types of licenses to accommodate the new working normal.
We improved upon previous soft-lock license in 2.5 version, so now that the soft-lock and cloud license no longer depend on the machine hardware ID. The differences between the licenses we introduced are listed below:
Hard-lock License | Soft-Lock License | Cloud License |
Modules, MiTS 1, and MiTS 2 | Starting from MiTS 2.8.x.x | Starting from MiTS 2.8.x.x |
Requires a physical dongle to be plugged into the USB port of the user’s machine to launch software | Requires user to login into the Cloud Account on Virbox User License Tool and online-bind license to the machine before launching the software | Requires users to login into the Cloud Account on Virbox User License Tool |
Temporarily bind to the machine where the dongle is plugged into | Temporarily bind the license to the machine | Temporarily bind to the machine as long as user is still logged into the Cloud Account |
Can be used on other machine to launch software, as long as the dongle is plugged into the USB port of the machine. | To deactivate, users have to online-unbind from the license through the Virbox User license Tool. To launch the software on another machine, user only has to login into their account and online-bind to the license again. | Can be used to launch software on different machines, but requires users to be logged out of the Cloud Account on the previous machine |
License is available for all existing and potential users | Available for all existing and potential users just like a normal hardware dongle, but instead of carrying the dongle around, you bind and unbind the license | This type of license is available for MiTS 2 training session and user with trial license |
