Too bad, it's a good license management system.

Despite a few bugs.
Indeed it's a shame!

I hadn't particularly heard of it.
Given the features mentioned in the order of discussion, it could have been interesting.

As a result, I have the impression that the lack of adoption is mainly linked to a lack of communication.

Hello, is there an alternative to use your license in telecommuting? For the moment I haven't seen any other solutions (especially on the US forum where there are a lot of reactions).

Hello@Tony_73

Yes, you just have to use the activation deactivation on the workstation concerned. Three clicks are all it takes!

On the other hand, you must not forget to do the work either in the office or at the teleworking place because you need a voluntary action on the last workstation used.

It apparently only works in a single-user and I have no idea how it works in a PDM environment with an intranet.

Thank you @Zozo_mp however this manip is limited in number of times (999), not to mention the risk of forgetting indeed. It can help but for telecommuting it's not really viable.

Hello @Tony_73 

That's up for discussion ;-)

Indeed, in 2021, there were only 254 working days excluding paid leave and RTT combined.

Which means 999 / 254 = 3.9 changes per day in the worst case where you work in the office for half a day and a day at home (elsewhere).

I think it's already not bad.  ;-)

Kind regards
