OWIN - Single User License #1108
Description
edmond girardi asked 2017-09-19 20:00:45 UTC
Is the Licensing different for single user OWIN hosting "Desktop" (web based application intended for use on a stand alone PC - not a server) Wisej applications ?
Had to justify server pricing for a "desktop" application.

Wisej Standalone apps don't need a server license and can be redistributed with no additional cost - when the browser is using http://localhost.
If the self-hosted or standalone process is accepting requests from external clients then it needs a server license.
For small deployments we an unlimited ISV Embedded Server License that allows for 5 concurrent users on each server and unlimited servers.

Hi Luca,
When you say
Wisej Standalone apps don’t need a server license and can be redistributed with no additional cost
it implies there was an initial cost.
Does this mean the web.config of the application needs a valid Wisej.LicenseKey?

You already answered in http://wisej.com/support/question/owin-applications-feedback:
When receiving a request to localhost, Wisej doesn’t check for a server license.

Update:
Wisej standalone deployments (i.e. desktop apps) require the new embedded server license available to Technology Partners.
