License Types

Single vs Corporate License.
The ElecKey product is available in two license types. Once you have decided on the ElecKey edition that is right for you, next you can choose between the single and corporate licenses.

Single License

A single license allows a single person to use the product. The license provides up to 4 activations, which you may activate the product on your desktop and laptop computers. A few extra activations are provided in case the license is accidentally lost (e.g. computer crashed).

Corporate License

A corporate license allows any number of people in a corporation to use the product. The license provides unlimited activations. You can activate the product on any computers owned by the corporation.
In addition, the corporate license provides the Team Manager tool that allows you to manage your ElecKey license among your teams or departments. You can grant the permissions for different teams to use only certain tools and features of ElecKey. So the teams can collaborate without compromising the security of your software.
