Products SureSync Licensing - Mixed Server and Workstation Licensing


SureSync can be configured to run on Windows Server and PC Operating Systems. SureSync's licensing is dependent on the type of Operating System you'll be replicating & synchronising files between.

If you plan on replicating files between both servers and PC's, your licensing will also be dependent on where you install the software.

Server Installation

With SureSync installed on a server, you have the benefit of having one central machine to manage replication between your replication & synchronisation tasks between the server and your PC's.

Server-to-PC's: In the Server-to-PC's Example, with SureSync installed on the Server OS, the minimum required licensing to replicate files to and from PC's 1, 2, & 3 would be 1 SureSync Server License. A single SureSync Server License is able to copy files to and from any number of PC's.

Please Note: If you needed functionality from the SPIAgent Add-on, you would need a SPIAgent License for each machine involved in replication tasks.

Workstation Installation

When SureSync is installed on the PC, the licensing requirements are slightly different. SureSync's Workstation License requires that each PC (i.e. Windows 7, Vista or Windows XP) where SureSync is installed be licensed and must be a source or destination for each replication task.

PC-to-Server: In the PC-to-Server Example, where SureSync is installed on PC 1, the minimum requirement for licensing is 1 SureSync Workstation License. This will allow you to copy files from PC 1 to/from Server 1 and to/from Server 2. To copy files between Server 1 and Server 2, you will need SureSync Server Licenses.

Please Note: If your project requires functionality from the SPIAgent Add-on, you would need a SPIAgent License for each machine involved in replication tasks. In the PC-to-Server Example, the requirement would be 1 SPIAgent Workstation and 2 SPIAgent Server Licenses.
