Overview


Online Licensing System is a secure way to license products online as a highly-encrypted centralized online system that manages licenses for all your systems. Additionally, the Online License System also provides for users to "borrow" licenses from their online accounts and work offline without having a hardware dongle, for up to 14 days at a time.
