First of all, this looks a good idea to me.
"Traditional" license management servers (like FlexLM) are a scary piece of software for sysadmins: think of it like a black box that will shut down everything if you mess up.
This license-as-a-service makes operations very easy.
I wonder if you have in mind something about concurrent users. I mean, some software is licensed on a _concurrent_ user basis, not just per seat.
If a user logs-in twice, usually the LM revokes the license for the session that was active, and assigns a new one to the user that just logged-in.
Also, license reporting is also a good idea for answering questions like... how much do I have to pay for next year maintainance?
- ezekg 10y agoThanks for the kind works. I'm still working out pricing, and the beta will help iron out any kinks and see how I can best calculate usage. I may end up starting out with fixed-price plans that are based on product, user, and license count. I'll keep the rest in mind, thanks!
- ezekg 10y agoHey, I realized that I guess I had misread your post, so my previous reply doesn't answer your question. Support for detecting/revoking concurrent users is a great idea and I will be sure to come back to that in the future. As of now, that will have to be done outside of Keygen.
