opsi license management
Document Actions
The opsi license management module is designed for handling the software licenses for proprietary software installed on opsi clients.
The opsi license management is part of a cofunding project and not free at the Moment. For details see the uib support pages.
The main features are:
- Integrating the license management into the opsi config editor, which is the standard opsi user interface for managing the software configuration of opsi clients.
- Software license management features, which are insertion, reservation, (automated) assignment, release and deletion of license keys and license pools.
- 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 of license assignment after deinstallation of the corresponding 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.
The license management module is a separate window integrated into the opsi config editor and can be started with the button „Licenses“, which is enabled if the license management module is unlocked within the opsi configuration („license management“ from the main menu /help/modules).
