License Server
Reading time: 0.3 Minute(s)
A license server is a service, either running in the cloud, or within a company’s network, to which applications (sporadically) connect to in order to ensure license and entitlement compliance. Typically, the first transaction between a client application and the license server entails initial activation, while subsequent exchanges ensure up-to-date data.
In recent years, the terms license server and Licensing-as-a-Service (LaaS) are often used interchangeably.
