SOLARIS X86 SOLUTIONS
Elan License Manager for Solaris x86
Application developers for SunSoft's Solaris(TM) x86 operating
environment can incorporate flexible end-user software license
controls with Elan License Manager(TM) from Elan Computer Group
Inc. For multiuser and network configurations, a software vendor
can offer optional licensing methods such as "number of current
users" in place of blanket site licensing or the honor system.
Elan License Manager software provides a combination of license
usage controls and information reports that both protect the
vendor's rights and enable the customer to make optimum use of
available licenses.
Elan License Manager is based on a client/server model. The
license manager runs on a server, and the applications run on one
or more clients. It is ideal for virtually any application type:
CAD/CAE, spreadsheet, word processing, desktop publishing,
graphics, compilers, modeling and many more. The software is
available in both source and binary forms.
A Stable, Open Platform
Solaris x86 is a powerful and versatile UNIX(R) operating
environment for the Intel(R) x86 platform. Designed as a
foundation for enterprise computing, it supports major industry
standards and provides high-performance 32-bit UNIX multitasking,
multithreading and multiuser capabilities. Solaris x86 is
compatible with Solaris SPARC(R), ensuring full interoperability
between the leading CISC (x86) and RISC (SPARC) platforms. And
Solaris x86 is scalable from desktops to supercomputers, so that
customers can configure heterogeneous enterprise networks and
expand them easily as their computing needs evolve.
Solaris x86 provides native ONC+(TM) technology-based LAN and WAN
networking to support broadly distributed computing and system
management. Solaris also includes powerful application and
Graphical User Interface (GUI) development tools through the
OpenWindows(TM) facility, and a rich suite of user productivity
applications under DeskSet(TM). Numerous commercial third-party
applications, including many Microsoft(R) Windows and DOS
applications, run on the Solaris x86 environment.
