Jim Installation

Jim Version 10 is supported on computers with 64-bit operating systems:

  • PC's running 64-bit Microsoft Windows.
  • PC's running 64-bit Linux, with Intel, AMD or ARM processors.
  • Apple Mac computers running macOS 15 (Sequoia) or later, with either 64-bit Intel or Apple M1 processors.

Jim 10 is not currently supported on other platforms. If you wish to run Jim on another platform, please contact support to discuss your requirements.

Jim has three licensing models:

  • Node-locked license. This type of license allows Jim to run on only one particular computer. If you wish to run Jim on more than one computer, then this will require the purchase of more than one license. Licensing is controlled by the Ethernet MAC (hardware) address. Moving the license can only be done if the licensed computer fails or is permanently replaced. If, at some future date, you decide to upgrade Jim to a later version, you will also be given the opportunity to move the license to a new computer at that stage. All trial licenses are node-locked.
  • Dongle license. If you purchase a dongle license, you will receive a dongle to plug into your computer's USB port. You can then run Jim on any computer, but only on one computer at a time. If you unplug the dongle from a computer, Jim will stop working on that computer until you plug in the dongle again.
  • Floating (network) license. If you purchase network licenses, Jim will run on any computer that can communicate with a network license server. The number of licenses that can be issued at any given time by the server depends on the number of licenses you purchase. If a user's computer requests a license from the server, and all licenses are in use, then Jim will not start on that user's PC until another user has stopped using Jim.
