Two types of licenses are supported by the RGS Sender: 1. Local license file-With local licenses, each system running the RGS Sender requires a license file. ◦ A license must be purchased and the license file installed for each RGS Sender computer. 2. Floating licenses-With floating licenses, a pool of RGS licenses is purchased, which are dynamically allocated on a first-come, first-serve basis whenever an RGS Receiver first attempts to connect to an RGS Sender. In licensing terminology, a floating license is checked-out when a connection is established to the RGS Sender, and is checked-in when the connection terminates. Floating licenses allow a company to purchase, for example, 75 licenses but support a user community of perhaps hundreds of users as long as no more than 75 users ever attempt to establish an RGS connection simultaneously. Floating licenses require a license server, which can be installed on one of the computers running the RGS Sender, or the license server can be installed on a separate computer. The RGS product includes a setup.exe file that installs the license server-see the HP Remote Graphics Software Licensing Guide, available at http://www.hp.com/support/rgs_manuals. Prior to installing the RGS Sender license, you can still establish a connection from the Local Computer to the Remote Computer, and can interact with the Remote Computer desktop. However, in the absence of a license, the dialog shown in Figure 2-2 Dialog generated when the RGS Sender is unlicensed on page 13 will be generated by the Remote Computer, and displayed in the window on the Local Computer that is showing the Remote Computer desktop. Figure 2-2 Dialog generated when the RGS Sender is unlicensed Once the RGS Sender is licensed, the above dialog will no longer be displayed. RGS products HP offers these RGS products : 1.
