As a digital gatekeeper, a license server system like the Sentinel RMS License Manager is used. This is achieved by closely monitoring all “requests” to use software or applications and making sure that the number of workstations utilizing each application or program corresponds to the number of licenses or license entitlements that the company is entitled to.
The license server will stop granting access to new users once the number of users exceeds the number of paid licenses.
A floating licensing server, also known as a license manager, is frequently used in conjunction with floating licenses. Companies that use this kind of license server system can make significant savings that more than make up for the initial cost of the license server.
This is so that businesses or organizations are not required to buy licenses for each and every one of their employees. Instead, consumers use the software in turn.
How does a license server work?
The license server employs a centralized computer software system that distributes access tokens, also known as software license keys, that permit licensed software to operate on a client’s computer in order to maintain track of the licenses and users.
