License requirements

Review licensing requirements for the TeamViewer DEX Platform, including entitlement types, usage considerations, and prerequisites for compliant deployment and access.

To be able to use a 1E application or tool, you must ensure it is registered as a consumer in your 1E license. If any consumer, such as 1E Endpoint Troubleshooting, is required to run an instruction, then the instruction's prefix must also be registered in the license.

If you want to develop your own instructions in-house or modify downloaded instructions, you will need to contact 1E to add your custom instruction prefix to your license file, along with the thumbprint of your Code signing certificates that you must provide.

1E will provide you with a Tachyon.lic license file that defines the applications, tools, and features your system can use, for how long, and how many devices it supports. This may be an evaluation or subscription license.

  • The license must be activated. Once activated, it may be used only by the system that activated it.

  • Licenses can be renewed or updated, but if allowed to expire, then the affected products or features will not be usable.

  • For a new installation, the 1E Server Setup program will let you select the license file from any folder on disk.

  • For an existing installation, the license file is copied into the folder %PROGRAMDATA%\1E\Licensing on your 1E master server.

Additional consumers and tools can be developed by third parties, your developers, or 1E developers on your behalf. 1E must register their consumer names in the 1E Platform license.

Developing your own instructions

You will need your own code signing certificate and have it registered in your 1E license if you want to develop your own custom instructions or modify those of other authors. Instructions that are provided in the 1E platform zip or in DEX Packs you download from the TeamViewer DEX Hub have already been code signed using the Platform and TeamViewer DEX Hub certificates from 1E. Your 1E license controls whether you can use these instructions.

Ideally, all of your 1E instruction developers should share a single code signing certificate between them. Each code signing certificate must be registered in your 1E license and associated with your organization's instruction name prefix. When you have chosen your prefix and have your code signing certificate(s), you then need to send details of these to 1E who will update your 1E license. This will then automatically activate on your 1E master server (assuming it has connection to the Internet).

You can download DEXPacks containing more instructions from the TeamViewer DEX Hub, and ask questions in the TeamViewer DEX Support Portal.
