Understanding ECMAP installation types and licensing

You can install ECMAP on a standalone PC or on a network server.

Standalone installation

If you are installing ECMAP on a standalone PC, install ECMAP using the ECMAP installation key.

The standalone installation installs two components on the PC, ECMAP and ECRTP. The ECRTP component is for testing maps that you create using the ECMAP component. The SySAM runtime license you generate for ECMAP includes separate component licenses for ECMAP and ECRTP. The ECRTP component must run on the same PC as the ECMAP component. You cannot migrate the ECRTP component to a different PC.

Network installation

If you are installing ECMAP on a network server, use the ECMAP Network Client installation key to install the ECMAP Network Client software individually on each PC you use to access ECMAP.

The network installation of ECMAP installs the ECMAP and ECRTP components on the network server. When a user runs the ECMAP Network Client, the full ECMAP is downloaded from the network server to the client PC where it runs locally. Like a standalone installation, each ECMAP Network Client must have a SySAM license for ECMAP using the host name of the PC. Since ECMAP does not run on the server, you do not require a license for the server copy of ECMAP.
