2 Installing and Activating TI Software
• Perpetual
The perpetual license has no expiration. The license is valid without a
end date.
•Trial
A trial license is a short time-based license that is valid for an
evaluation period. The evaluation periods vary between different
applications, but typically they can run between 30 to 90 days.
Installation Types
•Basic
Basic installation is a manual client install on one system. You can
install and activate multiple systems but they need to be set up
independently for each client machine. This type of install has fewer
requirements and procedures but may take more time if a number of
client machines are involved.
• Advanced
Advanced installation is an automated installation procedure. It has
greater requirements and procedures than the basic installation but it
normally saves time overall when installing on multiple client
machines. An advanced install uses the setup.ini. The advanced install
usually also includes an automated deployment option.
Special General Notes About the Installation
• Unless noted, there is no difference in the install procedures for the
license terms. Subscription, perpetual, and trial can be installed
through basic or advanced methods though usually trial is installed
using the basic method.
• Single license installs usually use the basic installation method as
described later in this guide because it will not save any time when
only installing on one machine. If you have many single licenses to
install on multiple machines you may find some of the setup.ini
features useful.
• Volume license types usually are installed using the advanced
installation method because it is more automated and can save time
when installing on multiple machines. Volume license types can be
installed using the basic manual method.
• Concurrent installs are a little different. You can still manually install
the client software using the basic method instead of an automated
deployment, but you will still need to run the server software and
edit the setup.ini as described in the section “Advanced Installation -
Concurrent” on page 29.
