💡 Golden Nuggets: Best Practices for License Management

When it comes to managing licenses in Qualitia Automation Studio, a strategic approach can improve efficiency and prevent issues down the line. Here are some best practices to consider:a.     

  1. License Distribution: Distribute licenses based on client and project needs, but always retain a small buffer for unexpected requirements.

...

  1. Track Usage: Keep a close eye on license usage, ensuring that licenses are being used efficiently and are not lying dormant.

...

  1. Maintain Validity: Monitor the validity of licenses to prevent unexpected expirations that could disrupt operations.

...

  1. Online vs Offline: Choose the mode of license activation (online or offline) based on your server's internet connectivity and requirements. If internet connectivity is unreliable, the offline mode is a good alternative.

...

  1. License Deactivation: Always remember to deactivate licenses when not in use or when reallocating to another server or client, maximizing license utility.

...

  1. Regular Reviews: Conduct regular reviews of license allocation and usage to optimize license management.

    2. Look for Qualitia Automation Studio service.

...

  1. If a client is unable to connect to the license server, confirm the IP address and the server port. Also, ensure that the server has a license available for leasing.

...

  1. If you encounter an issue when deactivating a license, check your internet connection and ensure that the correct deactivation file is being uploaded to the Cryptlex portal (for offline deactivation).

...
