QLM License Server Gateway

QLM Enterprise v11 includes a license server gateway that you can install at your customer site.

The License Server gateway is ideal in scenarios where your customers' workstations are offline. Rather than using offline activation which involves some manual procedures, you can install the QLM License Server Gateway at your customer's site on a system that is connected to the internet. All workstations that are not connected to the internet can then be configured to connect to the local QLM License Server Gateway which will redirect requests to the real QLM License Server hosted in the cloud.
