Licensing Information
Terminology:
- SquidNet Network: A computer system made up of 2 or more networked machines that are combined together to perform distributed processing operations.
- Tipnode: A processing computer within the SquidNet network. Any computer that has SquidNet installed on it is considered a tipnode and can act as a submitting workstation, a processing "engine" or both (in peer-to-peer mode). In master/slave mode, each node can be a client, master or slave.
- SquidNet job: A user request that contains one or more units of work called slices. A job can contain one or more slices and each slice can process one or more frames.
- Slice: A single processing unit. The portion of a job that actually gets processed by individual tipnodes.
- Core Floating License: Allows for the processing of a job slice on the network. Core licenses are floating and can be used by any available tipnode on the network. One of the nodes within the SquidNet network acts as a License Server.
- User Floating License: Adds additional users to SquidNet's user management system. User licenses are floating and can be used by any available tipnode on the network.
SquidNet products are as follows:
- SquidNet Deluxe is free and can be downloaded and installed without charge. The download includes 8 free core licenses.
- SquidNet Professional requires the purchase of a special license key that unlocks all advanced features. When purchased, you'll be given (and emailed) a license key that you must store in a safe location. Please safeguard license keys for future installations and upgrades. Purchased licenses have no expiration date and are good for all future updates and added features.
- SquidNet Core Floating Licenses are what enable the real processing power of SquidNet. By default, 8 core licenses are installed. Essentially, the more core licenses that are installed, the more parallel processing your system will have. As long as core licenses are available, SquidNet will continue to distribute jobs to available network nodes.
- For any additional questions on licensing, please submit an email to: support@squidnetsoftware.com.
***** All licenses are guaranteed never to expire and will work on all future versions of SquidNet ******
