Servoy security using a licence?

Questions
1

Hi all,

I recently found out that the servoy security module is using a headless client on the server it’s running on, and I was wondering whether it’s actually using a licence or whether it’s separate?
If it’s using a licence, is there any way to use the svySecurity module without using the licence or would that break the security?

Thanks,
Alasdair

Hi Alasdair,

every client (no matter which type) is using a license.
I don’t use the security module myself, but if the headless client is spawned and closed after its job (like the authenticator module), then it shouldn’t be much of a problem.

If the headless client keeps running, then you need to find out what it’s doing in order to tell if you can do without.

Hi Alasdair,
Yes!
svySecurity does use a client licence.
When someone tries to open your solution, it opens the svySecurity module to allow login & that stays running as a headless client.
You could probably get it to quit after a while, but it would just open up again when next person tries to login…
