Licensing

License Information

A license consists of:

• Name
• Contact Number
• Expiry Date
• Level

These elements are hashed and the user must enter the correct hash to verify that the license is valid.

A license may be given to a user in 2 ways:

1. in a file which must be loaded into EventManager
2. as a key to be typed into EventManager (e.g. 20110411-FULL-5032B49A)

In the second case, the user must enter:

• Name
• ContactNumber
• Key (YYYYMMDD-[License Level]-[Hash])

Licenses and Competitions

Each competition is associated with a particular license.

When a competition is created, it is associated with the current license loaded into EventManager (if any).

The license of the competition may be updated at any time by entering a new key/license file in the Competition Details screen.

Any computer which connects to an existing competition will have all the privileges allowed by the competition’s license, but only for that competition.
