Licensing

If you made your purchase though iTunes—read no further. Well, read no further unless you'd like some insight into the lives of those who purchased OmniGraphSketcher through The Omni Group's online store. If that's you and you'd like to manage your license(s), please read on!

Choose Licenses from the OmniGraphSketcher menu to see the Licenses dialog. From here you can review and edit your OmniGraphSketcher licenses, which verify that you’ve actually paid for the software. (Thanks!)

To buy a license:

Click the Buy Licenses button and you will find yourself magically transported to the Omni Group’s store on the web. Naturally, this only works when you have a live Internet connection.
If you’re considering buying a Family Pack license, note that a Family Pack licenses up to five members of a private household. If you’re buying for a company or some other organization that’s not a private household, you can’t use a Family Pack. Also, if you’re just planning on using OmniGraphSketcher on a couple of different computers by yourself, and you don’t intend to have more than one copy running at a time, you can just buy a single license.

To add a license you’ve bought:

Click the Add License button.
If you have a license key in an e-mail message, copy and paste both the Owner name and the License Key into the appropriate fields. If you can’t copy and paste the information, you’ll have to type it in; make sure you copy everything exactly as it appears in your license message. Also, double-check that the license you’re entering really is a license for OmniGraphSketcher; licenses for other Omni Group products won’t work.
Use the drop-down menu to select the type of license you would like to use. (Keep reading to learn about license types.)
Click the Save button.

OmniGraphSketcher has three different types of licenses:

Personal: One person, any number of computers. This license is for your personal use, and is only available when you are logged in as the user who installed the license, on the computer where it was installed. You can install this kind of license on more than one computer, but only for your personal use. If a personal license is available, the application will use it instead of other types of license.
Computer: One computer, any number of people. You can use this license on the computer where it was installed, and so can any other user of that computer. But, you should not install this license on more than one computer. If both a network license and a computer license are available, the application will prefer the computer license.
Network: A certain number of people, shared on a network of computers. This license sits on your network and is available to any user on the network. However, only a certain number of users (indicated by the number of “seats”) can use the license at one time. OmniGraphSketcher will only use a network license if neither a personal nor a computer license is available.

To remove a license:

Select the license you want to remove.
Click the Delete License button.
