Click Charge License Renewal
This chapter deals with such cases and scenarios which require a Workflow license renewal and
what must be taken care of if this license contains an OLCS Click Charge license.

Current license
: This is the existing license which needs to be renewed and/or replaced
with a new one. This current license file will or has already become invalid due to one of
the scenarios outlined below. Invalidation is usually related to the fact that the magic
number of the current license no longer matches the new magic number.

WF machine
: The machine/computer where the customer in question runs
Workflow
and
the licensed
OLCS
plug-ins and for which his current license is valid.

Original Click charge
: The collection of all
OLCS
click charge entries in the current license.
Click Charge Licensing of OLCS
All click charge license related information of OLCS is tracked in the OLCS database. At any given
moment, the consumed click charge credits can be calculated from the database and compared
against the licensed click charge credits.
This information is additionally logged in a hidden secret encrypted file so that deleting the
OLCS database will not result in a click charge reset.
Possible Scenarios
Scenario 1: The customer has modified some hardware on the WF machine. This hardware
modification results in a new magic number but has no impact on that specific disk where the
OLCS database is located.
In this case, a new license can be issued to the customer with the original click charge.
Scenario 2: The customer has modified hardware on the WF machine including that specific disk
where the OLCS database is located but he still has access to the old hard disk with the OLCS DB.
In this case, the customer mandatory has to copy the OLCS DB files to the new location.
See the section on the next page, called “Moving the OLCS DataBase”.
If the customer has done this, he can get the new license file with the original click charge.
Scenario 3: The customer has moved or wants to move to another (new) computer, but still can
access the disk of the old computer.
Same as Scenario 2.
Scenario 4: The customer has to move to a different machine because the WF machine has
crashed. However he still has access to the old machine’s hard disk.
Same as Scenario 2.
Scenario 5: Like in scenario 4, but the crash is so serious that there is no more access to the old
disk.
