If we redistribute the Orion server to our enterprise end customer environments, how do we license protect the floating licenses on the server?

The redistributed Orion server is itself license protected with Agilis’ licensing technologies, to define tamper-proof license parameters, protect from oversubscription, define end customer administration constraints based on the degree of trust, among others.

Old way: you use our EasyLicenser license manager product to generate Orion license keys which you distribute to your end customer administrator, who installs the key on their local Orion server installation. As part of this process, you may need to obtain node locking information from your customer for the machine on which they will be running the Orion server. Returning and relocating licenses is based on trust.

New way: you use your Acropolis-hosted Orion server to manage automatic product activation of your redistributed Orion servers. Using the Orion administration UI or a back office integration, you can define a redistributed Orion server license on your Acropolis-hosted Orion server and provide your end customer administrator with the license identifier. Your end customer administrator uses the Orion administration UI or equivalent tool to activate their license. Subsequently, the administrator may autonomously relocate their license, update their license, recover their license from a failed machine, and realize most of the benefits of standard Orion product activation. Your operations team is not impacted by these actions.
