Entering License Information

If you are starting a trial of Tracker, you can skip this section. A license key does not need to be entered at this time.

Entering License Information

When you purchase a license for Tracker, you will receive a license key (or multiple keys depending on the type of licenses and options you have purchased) that enables the product beyond the trial period. To enter this key, run the Tracker License Manager program that was installed with Tracker. You should be able to run this program from the Start button following this menu:

Start > Programs > NetResults Tracker > License Manager

The General tab of the License Manager contains the product (Tracker Standard Edition or Tracker Enterprise Edition), your trial status (how many days remain in your trial period), and a summary of the license keys you have entered and features that are enabled. Please review the information below for each of the user and feature licenses that you have purchased.

The About tab of the License Manager contains the major version information, copyright, and a link to the License Agreement.

Each key type has its own tab in the License Manager. When entering each license key, be sure to fill out all fields in the section, then click on the Enter Key button after entering the information.

Each software key is matched to a particular email address (also provided when the product is ordered) so it is important that both the email address and key be entered exactly as given in the email containing your license information (case does matter). And, the email address associated with a license key can only be changed when you purchase additional licenses of the same type.

To remove a license key, click on the Remove Key, then select "Yes" to confirm the operation.

To replace a license key, click on the Remove Key, then select "Yes" to confirm the operation. Enter the new license key information, then click on the Enter Key button.


User License Types

Three special system accounts are built into each Tracker workgroup: Admin, TBD, and Unregistered User (Inet). These three "users" do not count against the user license limits listed below and are automatically included in each workgroup that you create. The Admin user account is included to allow you to configure and maintain a Tracker workgroup. You can log in as this user to customize a workgroup to meet your requirements. The TBD user account is used in the Assignee (owner) field to represent "no one." For instance, it may be used for open issues that have yet to be assigned to someone or closed issues that no longer require any work. The Unregistered User ("Inet") user is used in the Reporter field to represent all users who have reported issues via the Submit via Web for Unregistered Users and Submit via Email features. Neither the Inet nor the TBD User ID can be used to log in to Tracker.

The remaining user accounts in Tracker must have one of the following license types: Static, Floating, or Restricted. For all three license types only one user (person) may be logged in to Tracker per license. In other words, the maximum number of people that may be logged in to Tracker at any one time is equal to the total number of Static, Floating, and Restricted licenses you have. The difference between the license types is how many user accounts may be created per license and what Tracker features may be used.


Feature License Types

The following license types are available to support Tracker features:


License Agreement

The Tracker License Agreement can be found in the License Manager by clicking on the License Agreement... button at the bottom of the General tab or the About tab. Please review this for the specific terms and conditions of your license(s).
