JTB World Apps Licensing

If you have more than one computer and you are the only user of the app one license is enough.

Once installed, the app is running in Trial mode, with Trial License with full or limited functionality (depends the app). The Trial License will expire 7-30 days (depends the app) after first usage. If needed we can extend the trial for you.

Once purchased send us the Device Code (computer number) from the License Activation dialog box. After receiving the Activation Key and activated it you can use the app with full functionality.

In some cases you might need a new Activation Key after renaming the computer, changing a disk drive or Windows update or repair. 

1. Start JTB World Apps
   • All apps: On the Windows start menu locate JTB World click on JTB World Apps. 
     
   • For CAD add-ins/apps: Run the command JTBW_Activate_Apps on the command line.

Send that number to JTB World for Activation Key after purchase is done.

2. Select the app you want to activate and click on Activate.
   
3. Click on JTB World or info@jtbworld.com and a prefilled email will be opened that you can send to JTB World. Alternatively click on Copy to Clipboard to have the Device Code (computer number) copied to the clipboard so you can paste it into an email and send to JTB World. Don't only send a screenshot as it is easy to make typos, thanks. 
   
4. Normally within 24 hours you will receive the Activation Key by email from JTB World. If not feel free to contact us. 
5. Copy the key from the email and paste the key into the box and press Activate. 

To move the single license to another computer:

Open the License Activation dialog box and Deactivate (if possible).

Then uninstall the app (if possible).

Finally install on the new computer, open the License Activation dialog box and send us the computer number showing to receive a new key. 

The network license system is available at no extra cost and normally most useful for companies with quite many licenses. The network license is priced the same but you basically need a license per user anyway as the license will be locked to that user for 4 weeks after last usage. It is not concurrent licensing. Reason is that our apps are normally running for relative short times. 

There is volume discount available with purchase of multiple licenses.

Why use network license?

With single licenses each computer needs to be individually activated. You need to install, get the device code from the license activation dialog box. Request a license key from us. Receive the key and activate the machine.

If the computer is renamed; or gets a new hard drive; or the machine crashes; or the user changes to another machine; or if the user has multiple machines; you need to repeat the above steps.

With network license you get 1 license file from us and after that there are usually no manual steps needed on each machine. Installation can be done by automation applying the port and server name as arguments. 

Manual setup on the Network License tab: specify the server name/IP and port number as configured on the License server. 

It is also possible to configure and activate while silently installing through command line arguments. 

See downloads for documentation and installers of the network license manager.  

For deployment on multiple machines silent/automated installation can be done, /server and /port is used to specify the network license server and port, change as needed:

<app name> <version> installer.exe /server="myservernamehere" /port=56712 /VERYSILENT /NORESTART /SUPRESSMSGBOXES /LOG="%TEMP%\jtbapp.LOG"

Use this in a BAT, CMD, VBS or by other means.
