Ordering info license options:

• AIRCAST-6-STD is the basic software for standalone applications including Voice Track for LAN.

• AIRCAST-6-STD-DB  is the basic software for standalone applications, but now with an added Database server application, so the optional Management + Voice Track option can now log on from another location (WAN).

• AIRCAST-6-VT Management License + Voice Track

  For additional workstations that require AircastDB access, e.g. office or production PCs, we offer management+VT licenses, with voice tracking support for a LAN. This works for AIRCAST-6-STD.

  (If you want to use the Management+VT from home (WAN) you need as basic package AIRCAST-6-STD-DB).
