How does the GOLD licensing system work?

Modified on Mon, 21 Apr at 4:07 PM

GOLD is included as a part of CSD-Discovery and CSD-Enterprise or as an add-on to CSD-Core and is licenced via the CSD licensing system. Use of GOLD will therefore follow the same rules as use of any other CSD Portfolio software (see How does licensing work for the CSD Portfolio? for further details). In general, a licensed copy of GOLD will allow unlimited use on the computer it is registered on.

Customers wishing to run GOLD on a cluster or cloud system will need to purchase an Ultra-Large Docking add-on (for industrial customers) or a Large Scale Campus licence (for academics) so that they can run a local licence server. See What are the advantages and disadvantages of activating via a local licence server? for more on why this is recommended.
