Cloud Licensing
Cloud licensing is the best and most complete option for Enterprise and Education both. Administrators can log in to a simple website portal and set up login credentials for different groups of users. They can also create reservations to guarantee access at given times. Meanwhile, users can install the full professional software with no restrictions and then log on to Proteus with the credentials they have been given to access a seat. As students or staff move on the administrator simply changes the group passwords to restrict or grant access accordingly.
