To access license information, follow the steps below.

  1. Log in to the system using your credentials.
  2. Click licenses or the license iconicon in the navigation panel. All desktops or applications configured for your Apporto instance will appear in the list, including the following values:
    1. Desktop ID
    2. Desktop name
    3. Delivery type
    4. Number of downloads – This column applies only to downloadable applications, not streamed.
    5. Concurrent user limit – For streamed applications, this column lets you enter the number of concurrent users for the application. This is useful for limiting the number of users who may access a particular application or desktop in Apporto.
    6. Notification trigger (%) – This column lets you set a percentage value (of the total number of licenses) that will trigger an email notification when licenses may soon run out.
  3. Adjust values in the editable fields as needed.

Configure concurrent user limits

In most cases, administrators rely on their license servers to manage license usage. In some cases, administrators may also want to define the maximum number of licenses in Apporto. The most common use case is to set a concurrent user limit for a streamed app or desktop.

To update a license’s concurrent user limit value, cursor or click into the field and type a new value. The system will prompt you to confirm the change.

The concurrent user limit is required in order to reserve licenses for groups of users via the calendar. If the limit is not set, the Add new event screen will throw an error.
