1.2 Installation Overview
Multicap 9 has three types of installation: Single User Edition, Network Edition, and
Multi-Station Standalone Edition.
Single User Edition – The Single User Edition is only licensed on the computer on which
you install it. If for any reason you wish to move the software to a different computer, you
must first uninstall it from the initial computer, and then re-install it onto the new computer. In
this case, you must contact Electronics Workbench to receive a new Release Code.
For details on the installation process see “1.3.2.1 Installing the Single User Edition” on
page 1-4”.
Network Edition – Either fixed or floating licenses are available from Electronics
Workbench for the Network Edition.
A floating license allows any computer to run Multicap 9 on a first-come, first-served basis.
Maximum concurrent uses are limited to the number of seats you have purchased. A fixed
license allows only a set number of specific computers to run the software. You may select
and change the specific computers allowed access using the NLS Utility, up to the number of
fixed licenses you have purchased (see “1.4.2 Administering Fixed Seat Licenses” on
page 1-11).
See also, “1.3.4 Network Version” on page 1-5.
Multi-Station Standalone Edition – If you are installing Multicap 9 on various computers in
a non-networked environment, then you are installing a Multi-Station Standalone Edition.
This type of installation is identical to that of the Single User Edition, except that you may
install a single copy of Multicap 9 per computer on as many computers as specified by the
License Agreement. For details on the installation process see “1.3.2.1 Installing the Single
User Edition” on page 1-4.
