Registering Your Software

The downloadable version of InterMapper request a free 30-day evaluation serial number. When you buy InterMapper, you get a non-expiring license.

We will e-mail a license you can use to unlock the software as described below.

About Serial Numbers and Licenses

InterMapper can use either a serial number or license certificate to unlock the software that you have downloaded.

A Serial Number is composed of two parts, a Registered Name and Serial Number.

The License Certificate is a digitally-signed block of text, delimited by lines of the following form:

----- BEGIN DARTWARE SOFTWARE CERTIFICATE -----
... lines of text ...
----- END DARTWARE SOFTWARE CERTIFICATE -----

There are several ways to enter the serial number or license certificate:

In any of these cases, you will see a window like the one below:

Entering a Serial Number

To enter a serial number, paste in the supplied Registered Name and the Serial Number into the appropriate fields of this window.

Entering a License Certificate

To enter a License Certificate, paste the text—including the "BEGIN" and "END" lines— into the License Certificate field of this window.

If you don't run InterMapper on the same machine as your InterMapper server, here are a few ways to install the license certificate without retyping.

  1. Run an E-mail client on the InterMapper machine temporarily, and forward the E-mail to that machine. Copy the license text from the e-mail message, and paste it into the Enter License Certificate text box. If you don't normally use an E-mail client on the InterMapper computer, this may be an easy workaround.
  2. If you have InterMapper RemoteAccess, you can use it. Open the email, copy the license text, then use InterMapper RemoteAccess to open the Server Settings window. In the left pane, click Registration, then Add... Paste the license text into the Enter License Certificate text box.
  3. You can also import the license information from a file saved on your computer. To do this, use your e-mail client or a text editor to save the license information to a file. Be sure to include the BEGIN and END lines of the certificate. Then transfer that file to your InterMapper machine (using a file server, FTP, USB drive, CD-R, etc.). Use the Registration panel of the Server Settings window, click Add..., and then click License Certificate, then click Import. Navigate to the file and it'll be read in.

    Note: If you see an error message that says, "there are no valid serial numbers in this license certificate", when you apply the new license, please delete all EVAL and TEST serial numbers from the Registrations table and try again.

Entering Multiple Licenses

You can enter multiple serial numbers to unlock additional InterMapper functionality. The Registration pane in InterMapper Server Settings window shows the licenses that are currently installed.


Multiple licenses in InterMapper RemoteAccess

Use these options, available from the Registration pane, to add, delete or view information about a license or serial number:

Understanding InterMapper RemoteAccess Licenses

The standard InterMapper RemoteAccess license authorizes a single copy of InterMapper RemoteAccess. It is applied directly to InterMapper RemoteAccess, rather than to the Server Settings for the InterMapper Server.

In certain situations, however, you may want a number of users to connect to an InterMapper server using InterMapper RemoteAccess but find it unwieldy to purchase and apply a license for each copy of InterMapper RemoteAccess that might connect. In this case, you can purchase a InterMapper RemoteAccess "license pool" license.

You apply the InterMapper RemoteAccess "license pool" license to an InterMapper Server through the Server Settings panel. In doing this, you are licensing users (up to the specified number authorized by your license) to use unlicensed copies of InterMapper RemoteAccess to connect to the InterMapper Server that uses the license pool license. Licenses are returned to the pool as soon as unlicensed copies of InterMapper RemoteAccess disconnect, and are available for use by other unlicensed copies of InterMapper RemoteAccess.

Note: You can connect an unlicensed copy of InterMapper RemoteAccess to an InterMapper Server only if

If a user connects a licensed copy of InterMapper RemoteAccess to an InterMapper Server with an InterMapper RemoteAccess "license pool", it does not count against the license pool. The user can connect even if all licenses in the pool are being used.
