User Subscription license is a model where a set number of Subscribed Users can access the software through their unique logins and passwords for a predetermined length of time (e.g. 12 month terms). The software can be installed on multiple workstations.
Each Subscribed User represents one individual and their login and password, which cannot be shared with other users. Software activation is an easy process and can be done over the Internet.
Why Choose the User Subscription License Option
User Subscription license offers a cost-effective way for small businesses to start with one user and grow by adding additional users. For larger organizations, it will offer more flexibility in user administration and management via the My Transoft Portal. Furthermore, it can easily handle scalability and budgeting as per the business needs defined by the number of users.
User Subscription licenses provide the highest quality software for the best value.

Team Subscription License (TSL) is a new cloud license option that is intended to support casual or occasional users of the software. The size of a Team Subscription License is represented as a number of allocatable seats.
Why Choose the Team Subscription License Option
While User Subscription Licenses (USL) are better for dedicated users, Team Subscription Licenses can be a good complement to these if your organization has occasional, less heavy users of the software.
HOW IT WORKS
Each user of a Team Subscription license must have an account in the My Transoft Portal to request a license. Internet access is required for this process.
When an end user starts the software product on their workstation, the software will connect to the My Transoft Portal and will determine if any of the seats are available. If they are, a seat will be allocated and dedicated to that end user for a period of 24 hours, the end user will have unrestricted access to that seat for the duration of the 24-hour period. At the end of the 24-hour period the seat allocation will automatically expire and another user will be able to claim it.
Once all the Team Subscription License seats are allocated at a given time, no other end user will be able to use that license until the 24-hour period expires and one of the seats is automatically deallocated.

Perpetual licenses are the traditional license type offered by Transoft Solutions for over 30 years. More recently our customers have embraced users-based subscription licensing together with the flexibilities and better management capabilities.
As a result, we (Transoft) will discontinue sale of Perpetual licenses on 1 January 2025.
A Standalone (single user) license installs the software onto one workstation and is intended for a single user. This license is tied to the workstation and cannot be moved or shared with other users. Software activation is an easy process and can be done over the Internet.
Advantages of a Standalone License:
- Standalone licenses are ideal for small offices and dedicated users as they do not require network connectivity to run and often cost less than comparable network licenses for the same product.
NETWORK LICENSE
A network license allows everyone within an office location to access the software from the company server with one person concurrently using at a time. Network licenses are not tied to a particular workstation or user. Multiple network license seats can be purchased and a license server keeps track of how many licenses are in use at one time. When a Transoft Solutions software on a network license starts, it first checks to see if a network license is available to use. If so, a license is then checked out from the pool of licenses. When a user exits the application, the license gets checked back into the pool making it available to other users.
Advantages of a Network License:
- Network licensing simplifies software asset management because the licenses are resident on license managers instead of on each of the workstations across the network. The license manager can be configured to log historical usage data.
- Licenses are available to all workstations connected to the company server network software asset utilization.
MULTI-SITE LICENSE
A multi-site license enables everyone to access the installed software on the company’s server with a specified number of concurrent users for use across registered office locations. When a Transoft Solutions software on a multi-site license plan starts, it first checks to see if a network license is available to use. If so, a license is then checked out from the pool of licenses. When a user exits the application, the license gets checked back into the pool making it available to other users.
Advantages of a Multi-Site License:
- Larger organizations with many users spanning different locations will find this license type a very cost-effective option.
- Easier to administer by simplifying software asset management since the licenses reside on a single license server instead of on each individual workstation.
- Licenses are available to all workstations connected to the company network maximizing software asset utilization.
