Understanding SteelPLUS Licensing

Standalone License

A standalone license is intended for use on a single computer.

Although the computer may be connected to a network, the SteelPLUS software is installed and licensed for that individual workstation only.

If SteelPLUS is installed on multiple computers using standalone licensing, each computer requires its own separate license.

Network Installation

A network installation places the SteelPLUS program files in a shared location on a file server.

Each workstation loads the SteelPLUS menus, support files, and program components directly from the shared network folder while using the shared network licensed copy of the software.

This approach provides several advantages:

  • One central software installation
  • Easier software updates
  • Consistent configuration across all users
  • Simplified IT administration
