Pitney Bowes MapInfo Professional - Manual (Page 32)

Determine the Type of License you have
The serial number and access code that you enter during the installation indicates to MapInfo Professional
what type of license you have. Depending on the license type, MapInfo Professional will guide you
through activating the product (if your organization purchased node-locked licenses) or connecting to a
license server (if your organization purchased concurrent or distributable licenses).
To determine what type of license you have:
• If the third character of your serial number is "N", your organization purchased node-locked licenses.
For activation instructions, see Node-Locked Licenses .
• If the third character of your serial number is "S", your organization purchased concurrent licenses.
For activation instructions, see Concurrent Licenses .
• If the third character of your serial number is "D" or if you have limited access to email, or have installed
MapInfo Professional in a Citrix environment, then your organization purchased concurrent
non-borrowing serial licenses. Your system administrator will provide you with a license server machine
name and port number. For activation instructions, see
Distributable Licenses .
• If the fourth character of your serial number is “P”, your organization purchased Premium licenses.
For details on Premium services, see Premium Services .
Node-Locked Licenses
Node-locked licenses enable you to run MapInfo Professional on a specific computer. If you purchased
node-locked licenses, your installation of MapInfo Professional must be activated before you can use it.
Activation is the process of acquiring a license from Pitney Bowes Software. This section explains the
activation options available for node-locked licenses.
