License Server

callas License Server introduceert een dynamische manier om callas oplossingen te callas License Server biedt een dynamische manier om callas-oplossingen te licenseren, zoals pdfToolbox, pdfaPilot en pdfChip. In plaats van gebonden te zijn aan een specifieke (fysieke of virtuele) computer, verkrijgen deze tools via de License Server toestemming om taken uit te voeren. Dit maakt callas-oplossingen perfect inzetbaar in Docker-omgevingen en auto-scaling setups, en biedt daarmee aanzienlijk meer flexibiliteit dan traditionele computergebaseerde activatie.
