      Antero 7 Licensing and Seats

      This article will assist Antero users and administrators looking for information on how seats and licensing are handled by the Antero application.

      Antero License

      • The Antero license database represents a company's purchased license, and contains information related to the purchased Antero product, including the Antero product key and other application-specific information. 
      • The Antero license database exists in a SQL Server instance, and will only ever be created once.
      • All client PCs running the Antero application will connect to the same SQL Server instance that hosts the license database described above - license databases are not created on each client PC as in some other software.
      • Antero 7 license databases will always be named AllMaxAntero.
      • If the Antero 7 application cannot communicate with the license database, the application will not start, and will instead begin the process of creating a new license database. For assistance, please contact AllMax Technical Support at 800-670-1867.

      Antero Seats

      • Antero 7 uses a "concurrent" seat model, which allows for maximum flexibility regarding which PCs at a facility have Antero available for use.
      • Antero may be installed on as many PCs at the facility as is desired.
      • The number of installations in use at a given time may not exceed the number of seats purchased.
      • If the maximum number of seats in use is reached, each additional user who attempts to run Antero will see a message stating that the maximum number of in-use seats has been reached, and the Antero application will close.
      • To free up a seat, simply close the Antero application on a PC where it is no longer in use.
