Introduction to Asta Licence Manager

You use the Asta Licence Manager application to maintain the licences for your Elecosoft software that are available on any licence servers that you use.

Using the Asta Licence Manager application, you can:

View the number of licences that are currently available on a licence server and the number of licences that have been loaned to other computers.
View which users are currently consuming a licence (active users).
View a history of licence additions, moves and loans.
Request new licences for a licence server, and subsequently add them to the licence server.
Loan or move licences from a licence server to another computer (either another licence server or an individual computer).
Cancel licence loans, returning the licences to the licence server prior to the original expiry date of the loans.
Reset the licences on a licence server.
Specify whether users can transfer licences from a licence server to other computers.
Configure a number of options that determine the way in which Asta Licence Manager operates.

Note that if a licence server, or one or more Elecosoft software clients such as Asta Powerproject, is installed on a virtual machine, a number of restrictions, mostly relating to moving and loaning licences, apply.
