About Client Side Only mode
MacroView DMS and MacroView DMS running in Client Side Only mode allow you to use DMS with on-premises and SharePoint Online servers without any server components installed.
In order to use MacroView DMS with an on-premises server in Client Side Only mode or with an Office 365 / SharePoint Online tenant, organisations first need to associate their MacroView license with the on-premises server farm or Office 365 tenant via the MacroView Licensing Website.
The MacroView Licensing Website
The MacroView Licensing website provides information on the product name, seat count, expiry date
and status of every MacroView product associated with your MacroView Licensing website account.
It also provides links to useful resources such as support, downloads and services.
The MacroView Licensing website allows you to manage licences for MacroView products that support
use with SharePoint on-premises in Client Side Only (CSO) mode or with SharePoint Online. To use
these products, all that is required is the installation of the respective client software and activation of
the licence using a licence key provided by MacroView.
If you do not already have a MacroView Licensing website account, you will be prompted to create
one when you first access the licensing website home page or when you first attempt to activate a
licence from the MacroView DMS client.
