7.1Managing Client Licenses

Sheer DNA Client applications and BQL connectivity is based on installed license files. Sheer DNA Manage enables the administrator to control and monitor the number of Sheer DNA Client and BQL connections over a limited or unlimited period of time based on the client licenses installed. Two types of licenses are supported, namely, fixed (the number of installed users are identified by user names or IP addresses or both) or floating (the number of installed users operating concurrently).

For more information on the Client Licenses sub-branch, refer to page 34.
