Activating GoldSim

GoldSim can be used by either activating a Standalone license on your computer, or by accessing a Network license that has been activated on a License Server.

Standalone licenses are activated on a single computer and, once they are activated, do not require connection to the internet (the license resides on the computer). There are two types of Standalone licenses: Desktop Standalone licenses, and Enterprise Standalone licenses. The licenses are identical in all respects with one exception: Desktop Standalone licenses limit the number of license transfers (to 6 per year). Enterprise Standalone licenses allow an unlimited number of transfers.

Network licenses reside on a License Server, and in order to use the license, your computer must be persistently connected to the License Server (although Network licenses can be “borrowed” from the License Server so that they temporarily reside on your computer and a connection to the License Server is no longer necessary). You can read more about GoldSim licensing options on the GoldSim website.

If you are unsure of what type of license you have, refer to the email you received from the GoldSim Technology Group when the license was provided (this may have been sent to a License Administrator).
