Getting Started
Your package allows you to run Origin on one computer (such as your office computer). You can also run Origin on a second computer (such as your home computer), as long as your maintenance is active. Only one install may be in use at any one time.
When you start Origin, a licensing wizard allows you to obtain a computer-specific license from the OriginLab website. Internet access is required only for licensing. If the computer does not have internet access, you can obtain the license from a different computer with access.

The Concurrent Network package entitles you to install or deploy Origin on any number of computers in your organization. Each of these computers must have a connection to a server machine on which you must install a FLEXnet server (provided by OriginLab) and set up a FLEXnet service for license management. If you are already using FLEXnet license management for another software vendor, then you can use your existing FLEXnet server to set up a service for managing your Origin, as long as the operating system and FLEXnet version is supported by OriginLab.
