The new License Manager in Imagenation 8.0 simplifies network administration and enables all members of an organization to easily access Imagenation’s powerful functions from a network. (Read the License Manager Getting Started Guide.)
The License Manager controls the number of seats and the editions of Imagenation client sessions that can run concurrently from a network or server installation.
The License Manager is software that provides security, similar to a dongle, that grants access to Imagenation on a TCP/IP network. A single License Manager is capable of monitoring Imagenation licenses for any size of installation.
How it works:
1) A user requests Imagenation from the network.
2) License Manager verifies that the requested edition of Imagenation is available.
3) License Manger instructs the Imagenation server to launch the requested edition of Imagenation to the client.
4) Once the client closes Imagenation, the license is released and is available immediately for any other Imagenation users.
License Monitoring
License Manager features a smart license release design that ensures optimum usage of licenses. This is accomplished in several ways:
- In the event of a client or server crash, License Manager allows time to re-establish the connection. If the connection cannot be re-established, License Manager releases the license.
- License Manager sends intermittent pings to all active clients. If a client is inactive, License Manger releases the license after a specified period of inactivity.
- License Manager may be locked to a dongle.
