RSI LICENSE

RSI License is for you if:

	You have HP NonStop products
	You want to protect them from unlicensed use
	You do not have the time or cryptographic know how to protect them

SUMMARY.

The RSI LICENSE Product is a set of HP NonStopTM programs and libraries that provide a simple, easy to use, flexible and effective method of setting up a program licensing environment, enabling program licensing control, issuing licenses, in the form of encrypted files, and maintaining those licenses over multiple HP NonStop Systems over time.

RSI LICENSE is designed as a hierarchical licensing system in which Ross Systems International can grant licenses to licensors who can then grant licenses to their product users.

It is designed in such a way that no licensor can grant licenses for any other licensors product including Ross Systems International. This is achieved by a combination of a secret key / password system both components of which are only known to the licensor. Since after licensing a licensor the first action of the licensor will be to change the password.

	Issue User Licenses for a Product by: a) Product Type b) System Name c) System Number d) CPU Type e) CPU Count f) License Period
	Control Product behaviour on License Infringement over the range of: a) Disable Product b) Warn of Infringement and Lockout after a maximum number of infringements. c) Warn of Infringement No Lockout.
	Maintain Licensed set of products, i.e. Add or remove products and product descriptions.
	View licenses and maintain license files including the ability to set run times and week-days.
