Installation and Licensing
Forest Pack and RailClone are available in two licensing models, Standalone Licenses and Floating/Network licenses.
- A Stand-alone license constrains the software to a specific PC and one license is required for each computer that the software will be installed on.
- A Floating license provides a pool of licenses on a server that are available to any other computer also on the same network. You only need to have licenses for the maximum number of simultaneous users, not for each computer where the software will be installed.
To learn more about how to set up and license Forest Pack and RailClone, please follow the links in the menu on the left.
Licensing and Installation FAQ
Coronavirus and working from home
With the global Coronavirus pandemic, we have receive several emails from users asking if we offer temporary licenses so that they may work from home. Due to our commitment to perpetual licenses and resistance to online licensing and SAAS I'm afraid we do not have the ability to issue temporary licenses at this time. If you need to work from home you do have two other options, depending on the type of license you own.
- Standalone. Although not explicitly stated in our EULA, we do allow users to install a second copy of our plugins on a laptop or home PC as long as the two computers are not used at the same time. If you require additional activations, please email us on helpdesk@itoosoft.com
- Network/Floating. You can access your network licenses from home as long as you can connect to the license server. To see what ports need to be made available for access from a remote location, please see this article
