What is an activatable license? / What is a certificate license?
An activatable license, also known as a trusted storage license, is a string of letters and digits called an Activation ID. Before use, it must be activated against our server. See Activating Palisade 6.x/7.x/8.x Standalone Software, or for network licenses see the Network Guide.
Activation can be automatic or manual. Automatic Activation needs direct communication between your server or computer and our license server. If that fails because of your firewall, Manual Activation is available: the software creates a digitally signed XML request file, you email the file to us or upload it to our Web page, you get a response file the same way, and you load the response file in the software.
Before you wipe a hard drive or decommission a computer or server where a license is activated, you must deactivate the license. You must also deactivate the license as part of transferring it. Deactivation can also be automatic or manual. See Transferring Standalone Software 6.x/7.x/8.x to a New Computer or Moving Concurrent Network to a New Server.
There is no deactivation process for a certificate license. Instead, you ask Palisade Technical Support for a new license when you need to move it to a new computer or server. Therefore, certificate licenses are issued for no more than a year at a time. (Make sure to include your serial number for faster resolution)
What is a standalone license?
A standalone license is for use on a single computer.
Most standalone licenses are of the activatable type: you receive an Activation ID, and you must activate it against our server. See Activating Palisade 6.x/7.x/8.x Standalone Software. You must also deactivate the license as part of transferring it, or before you wipe the computer's hard drive for any reason; see Transferring Standalone Software 6.x/7.x/8.x to a New Computer.
For users in ultra-secure areas, who cannot perform the usual activation process, Technical Support can change your activatable license to a certificate type. See "Manual Activation — No Internet" in Activating Palisade 6.x/7.x/8.x Standalone Software.
For the full license terms of standalone licenses, please see End User License Agreement (EULA).
What is a Concurrent Network license?
Please see Overview of 6.x/7.x/8.x Concurrent Network Licenses.

Is remote access possible? I have the software installed on my office computer, and I want to log in from my laptop and run the software.
Remote access is allowed for Concurrent Network licenses, but not for any other type. See "Using ... via remote access or Terminal Services is not allowed ...".
Do you offer a corporate license?
Concurrent Network licenses suit most corporations. However, please discuss any special requirements with your Palisade sales manager. He or she will work with you to come up with a software and license solution that will work well in your environment.
