Local Licensing Server

Introduction

By default SMath licensing system supposes SMath Studio is getting your license details from SMath Root Licensing Server https://smath.com. Usually it is convenient for the individuals and some small companies. But it causes a number of artificial constraints for the commercial customers:

• Permanent Internet connection to the Root Licensing Server is needed from all machines where SMath Studio is used.
• In order to manage your company users you need to register all of them on https://smath.com.
• You manage your license bindings via your software vendor.

In order to address all these issues and provide a platform for future organizations related improvements Local Licensing Server has been created.

Features

• It still needs an access to Root Licensing Server, but it is enough if it happens once a day. It means short-time Internet related issues does not affect end users at all.
• You manage your users locally. Only single account for your company is needed on https://smath.com in order your server would be able to get license info from the Root.
• It is your choice to manage your users name by name or to provide anonymous access for them in order to stop handling all those forgotten passwords at all.
• You get a chance to monitor who is using what licenses right now. If you purchased Floating licenses it may show you who locked the license for example.
