License Patrol Server
License Patrol Server tracks software use and manages concurrent software licenses for organizations.
What License Patrol Server is
License Patrol Server tracks software use and manages concurrent software licenses for organizations. Workstation clients send usage data to a server, which counts simultaneous users. Administrators can see which software is being used, who uses it, and product demand. They can set concurrent-user limits or prevent selected software from running; clients can shut down applications when a limit is exceeded. VeraLab describes the product as suitable for small offices, small and midsize businesses, and large enterprise IT environments. Listed platforms include macOS, Windows, web, and self-hosted, with on-premises deployment. The administrator guide describes LDAP authentication for application users. The Windows server installer requires ports 8080 for HTTP and 8443 for HTTPS to be available. A free 30-day trial covers the full product. Basic Support includes two hours of installation and maintenance support; Extended Support includes unlimited installation support and up to four hours of annual maintenance support.
