Editor (Licensed) to be installed on multiple sites

andersonspx

I am evaluating the editor and considering it for one application that is installed locally on every computer on which it runs. What would be the procedure to have a licensed version of Editor there? It is just a matter of copying the relevant files locally as I'd do with any JS library?

It depends a little bit on exactly what you mean. Are you using something like Electron for the app? If so, then yes, you could bundle Editor in the app and that would work fine.

Is that what you mean by installing the application locally?

Hi Allan, thanks for your response.
It is an application being migrated from a Desktop executable to a Web Application, using a framework called Intraweb (for Delphi/Pascal). An executable runs locally, which works like a Web Server for all intents and purposes. I am currently using Datatables, by inserting the Link/Script tags, which fetch it from the CDN. However, when it is deployed, because we need to guarantee it works in absence of internet connection, I believe I will have to deploy those files to one local folder and also others, like Bootstrap css etc. This should work fine. However, with the Editor, because it is a paid application, I believe I may have to deploy a file with a key for it to work? Or, when I switch from trial to a purchased copy, I will be given the .css .js and other relevant files with the key embedded in them? What I'm trying to figure out is if Editor will work in absence of internet, and how should I deploy it.

Sorry, forgot to mention. The App is a Web App, runs in the browser and emit callbacks to a Pascal (Delphi) executable, to fetch data from the db, run business logic and update DB, etc. However, we need to guarantee it can run without internet, if needed so (as the current desktop .exe does).

Editor will work just fine without an internet connection. It does not phone home and never will.

You get a regular Javascript file, so you would include that in whatever bundle you create along with DataTables and the other Javascript software you are using.

Obviously if you need to fetch data from a remote db, that will require internet access. Not much Editor can do about that . Equally for saving, if data needs to save to a remote db, it will need an internet connection. You could use a local first syncing db if you needed to allow the end user to enter data offline.

Thanks a lot Allan, that is the answer I was expecting. Will keep the tests and likely to buy a license soon. DB runs also locally (Firebird DB) currently but could run remotely in the future, and that would assume a connection always present.
