*Draft* Purchased licenses will have a particular license type, size and are perpetual hence they will not expire. Activating a Purchased license: Purchased Licenses can be entered into the License Manager application which can be located through the GateKeepers Help menu. When entering a purchased license key and licensee name into the License Manager you need to take care that no white spaces (e.g. “ “) are at the end or beginning of the license key. After entering the key you can then follow the wizard to complete the licensing of your installation. Moving a purchased license. Purchased licenses need to be deactivated before moving to a new computer; there are four ways to facilitate the deactivation of a license. - Via the License Manager Application. - Send an email to activation@qbik.com - Create a support ticket by sending an email to sales@qbik.com License Types There are three different license types that can be used in WinGate: Standard, Professional and Enterprise. The differences between these licenses can be reviewed here. Changing an existing license type: - Navigate to the purchasing web page. - Select “Upgrade/Renew a License”. - Enter your license key and licensee name. - Select “Renew version protection and upgrade”. - You will then be shown your upgrade options and prices – complete the wizard if you would like to upgrade. *Please note that licenses cannot be downgraded. License Sizes The License Size is based off the amount of concurrent connections connecting to / through WinGate. An easy way to details how this works is through some example on when the license count is applied - and at the bottom of this article is also a list of servers and services in WinGate that do not consume license counts: Example when a concurrent connection is used or not used. LAN Client 1: Is playing a game on a remote server in Australia, is downloading a file through the WWW Proxy Server, and is checking his email every minute. That will consume one license count. LAN Client 2: Is browsing web pages and has a MSN Messenger chat open with a friend. That will consume one license count. WinGate Server Desktop: The WinGate Servers desktop is using WinGate’s WWW Proxy Server to be able to browse web pages, and also is using a direct connection to remote control a computer at their home. That will NOT consume a license count. Connections originating from a known adapter in the WinGate computer will not consume a license count. Direct connections to the internet will not consume a license count. Third Party Web server on actual WinGate Server and Internet Client 1: Internet Client 1 in Japan connects to a website being served from the actual WinGate computer in New Zealand – the only option that has been configured in WinGate is to open the port. That will NOT consume a license count. WinGate Web server functions and Internet Client 2: Internet Client 2 in Japan connects to a Website being served by WinGate’s WWW Proxy Server --> Webserver option in New Zealand. That will consume a license count. Third party Web Server that is on a LAN Client behind WinGate and Internet Client 3: Internet Client 3 in Japan connects to a Website that is being redirected through WinGate in New Zealand. That will consume a license count. Please note when the internal web server responds, it will still use the license count that was applied to the Internet Client 3 user. Administrator is at home, but wants to monitor connections passing through GateKeeper at the office: That will NOT consume a license count. The GateKeeper connects to the Remote Control Service. The Remote Control Service does not consume a license count hence this will not consume a license count. Changing the license size: - Navigate to the purchasing web page. - Select “Upgrade/Renew a License”. - Enter your license key and licensee name. - Select “Renew version protection and upgrade”. - You will then be shown your upgrade options and prices – complete the wizard if you would like to upgrade. *Please note, you can upgrade the License Type and License size with the wizard in one procedure. You cannot downgrade though. Activity in WinGate that does not consume a license count. - DHCP - WinSock Redirector Service control channel connections - DNS lookups - Remote Control Service connections - Delivery of mail by SMTP Server. Reception of mail does consume a license. - POP3 Collection - Routing - Connections originating from the WinGate Server. | |
