HelpSmith Terminal Server Edition (floating licenses)

HelpSmith Terminal Server Edition allows you to install HelpSmith on a terminal server, such as Citrix Virtual Apps (formerly XenApp), for usage in the client/server environment.

In this case, the number of floating licenses determines how many users can access/use HelpSmith from the server at the same time (concurrent usage) through a client app, such as Citrix Workspace.

How do we manage floating licenses?

How to activate HelpSmith with floating licenses

Currently HelpSmith uses a single online activation system for all editions and does not include a server-side license management software. This means that you should use standard instructions to activate your HelpSmith copies with a floating license.

How to apply your license key

Please note that you should apply your license key on the workstation for each HelpSmith user:

  1. On the Start Page screen, in the HelpSmith License section, click HelpSmith Activation.
  2. In the dialog, enter your license key.
  3. Click Activate Now.
