Installation & Licensing Overview

C Tech provides various licensing options depending on the needs of its customers. These options will allow users to either license their C Tech products directly on their workstation, or concurrently via a network server which can serve multiple customers in an organization. Licenses for Earth Volumetric Studio (EVS) are provided by a C Tech USB License Dongle which is physically connected either to the workstation running the software, or to a machine on a network running the C Tech licensing server. Licenses for other products, such as C Tech EnterVol for ArcGIS tools, require an activation process which locks the license to the workstation’s hardware.

C Tech provides two applications for managing and administering licenses. The first, the C Tech License Manager, is used to configure licensing options for C Tech products, get current licensing status, as well as install or update licenses. The second application, the C Tech Universal License Server, is used to serve Floating or Enterprise licenses either locally or over a network to one or more users. The C Tech License Manager can be used to manage the C Tech Universal License Server in cases where a user does not have direct access to the network machine hosting the server.
