How is Working Model Licensed?

Working Model can be purchased as an individual (single user) or a network license.

The commercial single user license utilizes a USB dongle. The dongle can be transferred to any computer running the Working Model program. The dongle and the installation media are a matched set. It is possible to purchase more than one single user license.

The commercial network license utilizes a License Manager. The License Manager hosts a file on a license server, using the DST License Manager (based on Sentinel Licensing technology). The Working Model program is installed as many other computers as desired (client). When Working Model is started on the client, it retrieves the license from the server by automatic check-in. When the Working Model program is closed, the license is returned to the server. It is possible to purchase a network license that allows for multiple simultaneous users.

The educational single user and homework edition license uses a software key which is based on the computer information. The user emails a registration and is returned a serial number for that installation.

The educational network license uses a single serial number that contains reference to the same number of licenses purchased. This is also called a “site license”. The Working Model program is installed on as many computers as the site license allows.
