What options does Borland offer for using JBuilder in a lab environment?

It appears that the registration information must be entered for every user and/or every time JBuilder is used.

JBuilder does require that each user enter the license information. This is the intended behavior. JBuilder's licensing is per-user.

You will only need to enter the license information everytime JBuilder runs if you are not persisting the user profile between logins. JBuilder stores the license information in the under the user's profile. To prevent this, you must persist the user profile information or tell JBuilder to store the license information elsewhere. For the latter, refer to this FAQ.

Here is what Borland currently offers for labs:

1. If you are using JBuilder Personal or Foundation, each student/user needs to register and get their own set of keys. In this way the student/user can register JBuilder themselves. ****
2. If you are using JBuilder 5 Professional, we have created a "Special Academic Version". Basically, each student registers for a set of keys that expire every six months. ****
3. If you are using JBuilder Enterprise, there is an unpublished workaround, which applies only to Enterprise.

For information on #2 or #3 please contact Borland Corporate Sales.

**** Note that if you do not persist the license information for each user (e.g. with roaming profiles) they will need to enter the information everytime they run JBuilder.
