Named User Licenses 

 

Named User Licenses represent a modern approach to software licensing, where access is directly linked to an individual's credentials rather than to a specific device. This model simplifies the management of software access and enhances security across your organization.

 

With Named User Licenses, software activation is performed by signing in with your Graitec Advantage account. Authentication is handled securely through your default web browser, ensuring a safe and seamless sign-in experience. 

 

This personalized authentication model allows you to access your software on any compatible device without the limitations of traditional device-based licensing.

Key Features 

• Simple Activation 

Named User Licenses streamline the activation process by using individual account credentials instead of serial numbers or activation codes. Once signed in, license activation and deactivation are managed automatically. 

• Internet Requirement 

An internet connection is required to authenticate and use Named User Licenses. This ensures proper license validation and enables automatic updates and license management. 

• Improved Security 

Licenses are linked directly to authenticated user accounts, ensuring that only authorized users can access the software. This provides enhanced control and reduces the risk of unauthorized use. 

 

 

 

Benefits

 

• Mobility and Flexibility 

Named User Licenses allow you to switch easily between devices. Your access follows your account rather than being tied to a single machine. 

• Simplified Administration 

Administrators can assign, reassign, and manage licenses efficiently through the Graitec Advantage portal, allowing organizations to adapt quickly to changes in personnel or software requirements. 

• Improved Compliance 

Because licenses are linked to individual users, organizations can track software usage more accurately and maintain compliance with licensing policies.
