Convert an Evaluation Version to Licensed Version

SMOP is always initially installed as an evaluation version.  This evaluation version is fully functional, supports up to 10 users, and does not expire.  To support more than 10 users, a license must be purchased.  Once this license is purchased and the license file obtained from turbo-IT, you can upgrade your license to the number of users that were purchased.  

 

To convert a license, click on Browse, select the SMOP.LIC file that was sent to you, and click on Apply License.  

 

The license file will be validated and the new license level will be displayed in this window.

Upgrading Licenses

If you need to increase your user limit, it is easy to do in SMOP.  

 

The first step is to purchase an upgrade pack from turbo-IT Corporation.  

 

Once you have a new license, this new license needs to be applied in the Upgrade License area.  Click on Browse, select the SMOP.LIC file that was sent to you, and click on Apply License.

 

The Licensing page will reflect your new license version after the upgrade is finished and will be effective immediately.
