Licensing

This article provides details on how the Odoo API licensing system functions.

Summary
  • Cloud-based Licensing: Odoo API utilizes a cloud-based, node-locked licensing system.
  • License Assignment: Once the license is assigned to a machine, it cannot be transferred or used on another machine for 72 hours.
  • Multi-User Access: Multiple users on the same machine can use Odoo API, provided they do not use it simultaneously.

Node-locked licensing​

The Odoo API uses a cloud-based, node-locked licensing system designed to restrict the use of a single application instance to a specific machine. When the software is first run on a machine, the license is assigned to that machine at that time. This mechanism ensures that the application can only operate on the designated machine, thereby enhancing security and control over software usage.

Once the license is assigned to a machine, it cannot be transferred or used on another machine for 72 hours. This restriction prevents frequent switching of the license between different machines, maintaining the integrity of the licensing agreement and ensuring compliance with Odoo API usage policies.
