Using the License Manager

Purchase GoldMine with a Master License serial number to provide maximum flexibility for an organization in controlling the data integrity and security for each user.

Example:

Purchase a 50-user GoldMine license and a 50-user GoldSync license. Install once on the network. Then, create two 10-user sublicenses for the 2 branch offices from the Master License. Create GoldSync sublicenses for the 2 branch offices. Then, create undocked sublicenses for the notebook PCs of undocked users. Each license created from the Master License shares the same GoldMine serial number to provide authentication, ensuring secure remote synchronization throughout the organization.

Select Tools > Configure > License Manager. The GoldMine License Manager dialog box appears.

NOTE: Also display License Manager from the Undocked Users/Sites dialog box of the GoldSync Site Wizard. Select Undock Users/Create Sub-License.
