Licensing scheme
Why do I need a license?
No License no play. The IWRAP software is free off charge for IALA members, however in order to keep track of who is actually using the software, IALA has chosen a licencing scheme that ensures that the sofware expires after a certain period of time. This also helps ensuring that everyone has an updated version of IWRAP.
Who can obtain a license?
Only IALA members can obtain the free IWRAP license. Non-IALA members are able to buy the software license.
How do I get an IWRAP License
When you run the IWRAP program for the first time, the software asks for your contact details and then provides you with the first part of the license key. You are then asked to send this key to IALA (through e-mail). After checking your IALA membership, IALA returns the complete license key which you paste into the software, and you are ready to run the programme.
How long does the license last?
When the license key is issued, the expiration time is defined. This will be a few months in the beginning, but will probably be set to one year once the software is fairly mature.
How many licenses can my organization obtain?
As many as you need.
IALA just wants to keep track of the users of IWRAP.
