Module: Network logon
This module extends your installation by a central database login. Therefore the login at the corporately used database can optionally be made automatically via the network and therefore no password for the database login has to be entered by the user. The user only identifies with his/her personal password. The module has to be bought once for a license file and is then valid for all existing clients that log in at this license file.
Module: Terminal server / citrix
With this module you can run the software on a terminal server or under citrix. However, generally you need a user license for every employee or user who accesses Password Safe. The module has to be purchased once for a license file and is then valid for all existing clients that log in at this license file. If you should use more than one terminal server (or citrix farm) you additionally need the module "without client licensing".
Module: Without client licensing
With this module the licensing is only made per user. The counting of the clients (computers) is deactivated and you can install Password Safe on any computers in your company. However, generally you need a user license for every employee or user who accesses Password Safe. This kind is appropriate for small administrator teams who need the access to Password Safe on every PC in the company.

Why software maintenance?
The MATESO GmbH explores and develops new safety technologies and product extensions all the time. In order that we can make them available for you relatively quick and do not have to release new main versions all the time we decided for the very fair way of software maintenance packages. So you receive large extensions considerably earlier and do not have to wait for a new and chargeable main version.
Does the software expire?
No, the software does not expire. You can only no longer install any updates if your software maintenance expired and if you do not want to extend it afterwards. However, you can still use the software without additional costs.
