Can you elaborate on the activation options that are available and the pros and cons of each?

 

ENERCALC’s License Agreement for ENERCALC SEL is an attempt to be very flexible for those who can take advantage of it.  We don’t restrict installations.  Instead, we control activations.  By working it that way, we are able to tell users that they are free to install the software on as many machines as they wish, and we use one of a few different methods of ensuring that the maximum number of permissible simultaneous activations is not exceeded.

 

The most flexible method of doing that (for users who can) is through the use of our Internet Activation system.  For users who can configure their communications to take advantage of this system, it offers the advantage of being able to share a relatively few number of seats among many users.

 

The second activation option comes into play for those users who cannot configure their networks to permit Internet Activation.  We refer to this option as Manual Activation, and it is the least flexible, because the activations are locked to particular computers.  These activations do not have the ability to be shared between computers, but they are guaranteed to work.
