Installing and Activating TI Software

This document describes how to install, deploy, and activate
Texas Instruments software.

Getting Started

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION FIRST
This section is an overview on the meaning of terms, how the instructions
are organized, and will guide you to the correct locations depending on
your needs.

License Types

• Single
A single license is valid for one software client.
• Volume
The volume license is a single license used to activate the TI client
software on multiple computers. The software must be installed and
activated on each specific machine used.
• Concurrent
The concurrent license is a single license stored on a server that allows
the client application to be installed on all computers.
Only a fixed number of users can use the software at the same time.
Licensing management software assigns unused licenses
automatically when a user opens the application. It also reassigns the
license back to the unused group of licenses when a user closes the
application. This allows a far greater number of machines to have the
client installed without exceeding the registered allotment of
licenses.
The computers using the software must be connected to the network
at all times. The only exception to this is a special feature called
"borrowing." Borrowing allows a license to be taken out of the
constantly changing group of used and unused licenses for a set
period of time. For more information, see Borrowing a License.

License Terms

• Subscription
A subscription is a time-based license that is valid for a limited period
of time, usually this is an annual license.
