Keeping track of software licenses across the enterprise can be a full-time job for administrators; and inefficiencies in license tracking & allocation can get in the way of software users getting their jobs done. The Embarcadero License Center puts you in control of your software assets, with self-managing features that take the complexities of licensing away from your end users, greatly simplifying administrative tasks.

With ELC, your license administrator has access to all the automated tools necessary to easily manage users and
licenses.
ELC reporting allows you to identify who is using licenses, and who
is not, so that you can more easily optimize your license allocation.
In fact, one of the two types of licenses supported by ELC
– concurrent licensing – provides fully floating licenses, that are
allocated in real-time as authorized users make use of the products. moving licenses:

ELC offers flexibility so that you can ensure that your teams have access to the tools they need when they need
them. Centralized management of licenses makes it easier to budget and administer ongoing & project costs
associated with software tools. ELC supports two types of licenses, which can be mixed and matched to meet your
requirements:
Networked Named Licenses
• Network Named User licenses are tied to users, not workstations.
Thus in addition to being network manage, they also have
the advantage of allowing users to access software from any

having to contact Embarcadero.
Network concurrent (floating)
• Concurrent licenses sit in a pool that can be accessed by any authorized user. Licenses are automatically pulled
from the server when a product is opened, and relinquished when it is closed, without any action required on
the part of the user.
• Administrators are able to gain visibility into various usage metrics, to reveal usage patterns, which can help
budget & forecast software needs.
additional features included in eLc, regardless of the license type, include:
• LDAP Integration – the list of authorized users can be imported from LDAP, or managed manually.
• License borrowing – ELC can allow users to check out a license from the license server for up to 30 days (the
time frame is configurable by the ELC admin), allowing them to continue their work while away from the network.
• Failover architecture – ELC is designed with availability in mind. Included in ELC is the ability to create a failover
license, for enterprises needing the highest level of availability.
