The Free Edition of inFlow can seamlessly be upgraded to the Regular or Premium Edition by purchasing license keys from our website. Once we have confirmed the payment, you will be e-mailed a License Key. Each license enables you to operate inFlow Inventory Regular/Premium Edition on one computer. The Regular Edition allows 5 such network computers whereas the Premium Edition allows unlimited network computers.

After receiving your license key, you can upgrade to the Regular/Premium Edition by choosing Upgrade inFlow from the Free Edition and entering in the license key. This will activate your copy of inFlow, unlocking the features of the Regular/Premium Edition. For each license key, you are allowed up to two pre-authorized activations. If you need further activations, e.g. if you are transferring your license to a new computer, contact us at support@inflowinventory.com

Licensing and Multi-User Mode

To use inFlow in Multi-User mode, you will generally need one Regular/Premium Edition license for each computer on which inFlow is installed. The Free Edition of inFlow can be used as a read-only client in multi-user mode; you will be able to view customer information, generate reports, etc., but not make any changes.

If you have one person who uses two different computers (e.g. a desktop computer and a laptop), you may choose to activate inFlow on both computers using the same license key. However, only one computer can be connected to inFlow at any given time.

As mentioned above, the Free Edition is generally read-only in multi-user mode. However, there is one exception to this; a Free Edition user can host inFlow in multi-user mode, allowing other people using the Free Edition to connect to view the same data. In this case, the server computer will not be read-only. This allows customers to try connecting inFlow computers together before purchasing the Regular/Premium Edition.
