Modules
Introduction
Modules provide the functions of O&O Syspectr. Each module works independently of the others, so you only use the ones you need. You enable or disable modules for a single computer or for a group of computers. If a module needs an additional component, O&O Syspectr installs it automatically in the background when you enable the module, and removes it again when you disable the module.
Which modules you can use depends on your edition. Some modules additionally need a license of their own. If you buy it in the O&O online shop, it is added to your account automatically. If you buy it from a sales partner, enter it in license management.
The table shows the availability of each module:
- Free – available in all editions, including Free.
- Premium – available with Premium, Enterprise and Resilience.
- Paid module – needs Premium or a higher edition plus a separate license for the module.
