The serial number and access code that you enter during the installation indicates to MapInfo Pro what type of license you have. Depending on the license type, MapInfo Pro will guide you through activating the product (if your organization purchased node-locked licenses) or connecting to a license server (if your organization purchased concurrent or distributable licenses).
MapInfo Pro licenses can be categorized as:
- Feature Based Licenses
- Advanced Licenses - If the second character of your serial number is "A", your organization purchased MapInfo Pro Advanced licenses. For more information, see Advanced Licenses.
- Premium Licenses - If the fourth character of your serial number is "P", your organization purchased Premium licenses. For details on Premium services, see Premium Services.
- Basic Licenses - If the second character of your serial number is "I" and the fourth character of your serial number is "W", your organization purchased MapInfo Pro Basic licenses.
- Single-User and Sharable Licenses
- Node-Locked Licenses - If the third character of your serial number is "N", your organization purchased node-locked licenses. For activation instructions, see Node-Locked Licenses.
- Concurrent and Borrowable Licenses - If the third character of your serial number is "S", your organization purchased concurrent licenses. This is the case if MapInfo Pro is installed in a Citrix environment. For activation instructions, see Concurrent Licenses.
- Distributable Licenses - If the third character of your serial number is "D" or if you have limited access to email, then your organization purchased distributable licenses. Your system administrator will provide you with a license server machine name and port number. For activation instructions, see Distributable Licenses.
