2 - License Box
Introduction
Introduction
With the successful release of version 4.20 of iBos (Inepro Back Office suite) software, this typically includes DocuPRO,
CashPRO and AccessPRO. Inepro has introduced a high secure fail safe feature. This version of the software release uses
a Software License Box to ensure high availability of the software within an installed environment.
The Software License Box operates as hardware “Dongle” in the system. The purpose of the dongle is a twofold reason (A)
to authenticate the software on the server and (B) to ensure high availability of the software within the installed environment.
In the previous versions of iBos the license was based upon the hardware and installed software in the server. With
virtualisations of servers, it was noted that the Inepro software lost its license due to the changes within the installed
environment in which the license was originally generated.
With the introduction of this Ethernet based Software License Box, we ensure a high availability license key to the
software. The new licenses are based upon the license box instead of the server environment. With this the server
environment can change as long as the Software License Box is accessible, the software will keep operational. For
clustered environments, the inepro Back office suite will continue operational with multiple Software License Boxes.
This new feature enhances “Customer Care” due to a new License Manager that stores all licenses and serial numbers of
the Software License Boxes. Upon requesting a new license, we provide a new license file based upon the serial number of
the Inepro License Box. This also provides the possibility to work in advance of expiry dates. i.e. multiple Software License
Boxes can be ordered as advanced stock. When an order for software is send we can be instructed to assign a license to a
certain Software License Box serial number, this way the end-user customer can have their software quickly installed and
fully functional without delays.
The Inepro License box will ensure the Inepro system will work during the license period and a grace period of 14 days
afterwards
