Distributing Page Based Licenses

The Nuance merge module and the Nuance Central Licensing Service are required to be installed on the end user's PC for using Page Based licenses. If the end user will use you application in a distributed system, the Nuance Central Licensing service must be installed to a server operating system. Microsoft .NET Framework 4 is required for proper operation.

For Page Per Month and Page Pack licenses, the following licensing options are available via NCLT, depending on whether your user's machine has network connection or not.

Unlocking Used Licenses

With Page Per Month licenses, it is possible to use your license for one additional day (in addition to the day it is overrun) if you overrun the fixed conversion number for the particular month and your license status becomes Used. To do this, select the blocked license in Nuance Central Licensing Tool's license detail section, right-click it, and select Unlock.

Note: 

You can only do this, if your license is not over the fixed total conversion number.
