In addition, such licensed users may access computers on Licensee’s internal LAN with local display and remote access to such computer by such licensed users through VPN. The licensed users may also share their display through desktop conferencing software such as GoToMeeting, Zoom, or other. A LAN is defined as an internal computer network confined to a building or group of buildings within a one hundred (100) kilometer radius.

A separate software module, called a License Manager, is included in the purchase price of the license. License keys are issued by Tecplot, Inc. that lock the execution of the License Manager to a user specified machine. The Concurrent User License allows FieldView to be executed on any system that resides on the same network with the system that is running the License Manager.

Batch License (Tecplot 360)
