Licenses

The Licenses page in the Admin section of Signotaur enables administrators to manage licenses for the application. A valid license is required for the server to accept signing requests from the Signotaur client tool. Licenses can be purchased via the VSoft Technologies website, or a 14-day trial license can be requested directly from this page.

A table displays details of any licenses which have been added to the server, including licensee, license name, subscription expiry, and validity.

Signotaur licenses do not expire. The date shown is the subscription expiry — the cut-off after which newer builds will not accept the license — not a license expiry. A license stays valid indefinitely for every build released before that date; renew the subscription to use builds released after it. The only exception is the 14-day trial license, which is time-limited and expires on its end date.

Requesting a Trial License

To install a 14-day trial license:

  1. Click the Request a 14-day trial license button.
    (This button is only visible if no licenses are currently installed.)
  2. A unique hash identifying your machine will be sent to https://www.finalbuilder.com.
  3. Once the request is processed, a trial license will be downloaded and added to your license list.

Adding a New License

To add a new license:

  1. Click the Add a license button.
  2. In the dialog that appears, browse for a local .license file.
