Station-IC licenses are delivered from Clear-Com by email or physical letter and provide the user with a License Ticket ID which can contain multiple licenses that can then be deployed on multiple computers by the holder of the License Ticket ID.

If ordering Station-IC licenses for multiple customers / projects on the same PO order to Clear-Com, please specify which licenses should be included on each License Ticket ID.

Existing License Ticket ID scan be re-loaded with additional licenses if specified at the time of order and the existing License Ticket ID number is submitted with the order for new licenses. This can be convenient for license owners to manage inventories of licenses.

License Deployment and Management - Online
Station-IC licenses are extracted from the License Ticket ID to the CodeMeter license software on the computer running Station-IC using the online WebDepot (a cloud-based) tool to manage licenses.

When a valid License Ticket ID is entered into the WebDepot the WebDepot displays the licenses (Event and or Subscription) available on the ticket and allows the user to apply / install the license to the computer running Station-IC.  The computer running Station-IC must have the CodeMeter license management software installed for it to be licensed. 

The CodeMeter software acts as a container for the license and has a unique CmContainer number.  WebDepot online tool can additionally be used to Re-Host Subscription licenses from the computer back to the License Ticket for storage or use on a different computer.

License Deployment and Management – Offline
Station-IC computers can also be licensed even when offline.  This is done by generating a context file from the CodeMeter software running on the computer to be licensed. The context file is then used to initiate a “File Based Transfer” within the WebDepot which returns a file to load into the offline computer.  The same method can be used to Re-Host a license to the ticket or another computer.
See further information in the Station-IC manual for further information on offline license transfers.

Demo Mode – for system testing and demonstration use
When installed, without a license, Station-IC operates in Demo Mode.  This allows the user to connect to an Eclipse or LQ system to test network connectivity and configuration without using a license.  Demo mode restricts the user to connect for 10 minutes, 24 times in 24 hours and injects an audio watermark. When connected to an intercom system while in demo mode, Station-IC shows a red border with a countdown until disconnection.
