license management

The opsi-module license management is made to uniform and to simplify the administration of non-free software licenses on the clients managed with opsi.

The key features are:

• The license data are stored within the same management interface as the software deployment and the OS-installation, in the opsi config editor.
• The resourcing, allocation and reservation of licencekeys is automated.
• Several types of licenses are available:
  - standard single licenses (a single license key assigned to a single client)
  - volume licenses (a single license key valid for a certain amount of installations)
  - campus license (a single license key valid for an unlimited amount of installations within the company/site)
  - client bound licenses (which is a single license valid for a dedicated client only, e.g. OEM licenses).
• Release and deletion of licenses keys after deinstalling a software.
• Manual editing of license data, e.g. for software which is not deployed by opsi.
• Reporting functions showing the opsi license assignment and the software installations detected by the software inventory module.

A documentation about the opsi license management in the opsi-manual describes details about function and handling.

Notice: The opsi license management module is a co-founded opsi extension module, which is available to the participants of the co-funding project, who have payed a certain amount of the development costs. The module will be available to the community when all the development costs have been funded.
