Your InSite server will contact the KODAK Product License and Activation System (PLAS) in the background on a regular basis to keep your system licenses up to date. An internet connection is required for automatic maintenance of your licenses. If your server is not connected to the internet, you can follow the offline process that is described below. When upgrading to version 10.0, you must also upgrade your license.

License renewal

Purchased licenses will be automatically renewed on a regular basis. If the InSite server is unable to reach PLAS for extended periods of time, it will notify the system administrator two weeks before the base license is set to expire.

Note:  Resale Resale or reuse of the original hardware (dongle) license constitutes a breach of the software license agreement. If you are upgrading from a dongle to a software-based license, you are responsible for the destruction or disposal of the original hardware dongle. We recommend that you destroy your dongle as soon as you confirmed that the upgrade was successful.
