Single vs Corporate License

Single LicenseA single license allows a single person to use the product. The license provides up to 4 activations that you may activate the product on your desktop and laptop computers. A few extra activations are provided in case the license is accidentally lost (e.g. computer crashed). |
Corporate LicenseA corporate license allows any number of people in a corporation to use the product. The license provides unlimited activations that you can activate the product on any computers owned by the corporation. 
In addition, the corporate license provides the ElecKey Team Manager tool that allows you to manage your ElecKey license among your teams or departments. You can restrict / grant permission for different teams to use only certain tools and features of ElecKey. So the teams can collaborate without compromising the security of your software. |
