License variants

Orchestra Solution Hub offers a variety of capabilities. Furthermore Orchestra Solution Hub offers the possibility to be operated on virtual instances and in containerized environments. The parameters of the license verification algorithm differ based on the respective area of application.

  • Hardware licensing (standard)

With hardware-based licensing, a fingerprint of the hardware and software environment used is created during activation. Based on this fingerprint, the license mechanism can check whether the execution environment of Orchestra Solution Hub has been changed.

  • Virtual Machine

Since hardware changes can occur more frequently with virtual machines and this would necessitate permanent new licensing, we offer a special license for such cases. With this variant, the test is carried out in a reduced form and thus enables smooth operation of the environment.

  • IP based licensing

In container-based environments, IP based licensing is the method of choice. In this case, the license check is linked to the IP address of the Orchestra Solution Hub node. As long as the IP address remains unchanged, the node is considered licensed. In addition to a simple IP address, there is also the option of defining IP ranges so that the same license can be used for several computers at the same time.

  • Floating licensing

With floating licensing, an additional component, the Solution Hub floating server, is required. This manages the licenses available for a customer. An Orchestra Solution Hub instance that uses this mechanism has not to be activated directly any longer. Rather, the licensing request is sent to the floating server, which decides on the granting of a license based on the available licenses.

  • Business Partner License

With Business Partner licenses it is possible to license Solution Hub based on certificates. For this purpose, a connection is established to a URL through which a certificate/certificate chain can be retrieved. This is compared with a certificate stored in the license file. If these match, or the certificate chain is valid, Orchestra Solution Hub is licensed.

  • Base License

With a Base License it is possible to license Solution Hub without any further security checks. The license file is checked for validity and expiry date.
