License Server 3.0 is available now. It makes site licence management easier, faster, and safer for organisations with many users. If you have ever typed the same licence details into hundreds of computers, you already know the pain. It is data entry with a steering wheel lock.
License Server keeps site licence updates centralised
Imagine you have just renewed or updated your site licence. If you have hundreds of users, manually entering the new licence details on every computer is tedious and time-consuming.
A License Server provides a centralised way to manage your licences. Once the licence has been updated on the License Server, users simply click one button to update their licence. There is no need to enter all the licence details again.
This makes licence updates much faster and easier, especially for organisations with a large number of users.
License Server 3.0 adds better control and faster data handling
- Individual object security for better access control
- Improved export performance
- Export now includes additional metadata information
- Faster import performance
- Fixed backup and restore issues
In practice, the biggest change is control. Administrators can manage access more precisely, move configuration data faster, and rely on backup and restore behaving properly when it matters.
License Server is ideal for managing site licences
License Server is designed for site licence owners. If only one person uses the software, you probably do not need it. If dozens or hundreds of people use our tools across the organisation, central licence management saves time and reduces mistakes.
The rule of thumb is simple: if licence updates have become a repetitive admin job, centralise them. If you do it three times manually, you are now the bottleneck. The server will not make tea, but it will remove a surprisingly dull task from your day.
