FASTTRACK WMS Licensing

The FASTTRACK WMS licensing forms part of the registration process and is obtained from the online order form once the subscription is paid.

The license file will be emailed to the client within 24 hours after receiving payment.

Please refer to the FASTTRACK WMS Accreditation Course at DATASCOPE University for more information.

The annual license fee (ALF) does not apply to FASTTRACK WMS licensing as it is a monthly subscription-based product. However, they are allowed if a client wishes to purchase DATASCOPE PREMIUM WMS modules as an additional module not part of the FASTTRACK WMS Software suite. They will only increase their monthly subscription fee with the additional modules included. If a client registers as a FASTTRACK WMS client, they will never migrate to a DATASCOPE PREMIUM WMS licensing module and, therefore, will not be liable for ALF.

If you would like more information on migrating from FASTTRACK WMS to DATASCOPE PREMIUM WMS, please take a look at the Migrating from FASTTRACK WMS to DATASCOPE PREMIUM WMS.

DATASCOPE PREMIUM WMS Licensing

As the DATASCOPE PREMIUM WMS version is for larger, more complex distribution and manufacturing sites, the client must start the registration process with discussions with one of our DATASCOPE Solution Providers (DSP).

ALF (Annual License Fee) applies. This is the annual license fee paid to DATASCOPE before the Customer uses the Software for twelve months. The License must be renewed yearly.

License File

The FASTTRACK WMS and DATASCOPE PREMIUM WMS License file is an XML file issued by the DATASCOPE Admin department after receiving payment.

The XML file resides on the DATASCOPE WMS Software server, usually at C:/DatascopeLicense/ (for DATASCOPE PREMIUM WMS) or C:/FastTrack/License/ (for FASTTRACK WMS)

The Software must have permission to read and write to this file.

The DATASCOPE PREMIUM WMS License file is linked with the yearly ALF (Annual License Fee), and the License will expire annually when payment is due. The DATASCOPE Admin department will send out renewed License files after receiving payment.

The License file contains the following information:

·        Name of the Company
