QTS Dashboard License Pools

The QVscribe Teams Servers provide the ability to create license pools for managing your licenses.  This can be helpful for one of the following scenarios:

  1. To split licenses into groups for different departments or teams.  This means that different groups can purchase their seats without having to set up a new QVscribe server.

  2. To ensure a seat is always available. You can create pools to help manage the usage of seats. If one or two individuals need a license at all times, you can create a license pool just for those specific users.

  3. To increase the chance that a certain set of users has access to a seat, you can add certain users to multiple pools.

Alternatively, you can create 1 license pool to hold all your seats. You can change this if or when necessary.

The QVscribe License Pools section can be found on the QTS dashboard, under License Management.
