Cloud Shared Licensing is a game-changing feature offered by CTC Software that allows your team to pool access, thus keeping your costs controlled without stifling your productivity or growth. With Cloud Shared Licensing, you purchase a finite amount of licenses that sit in the cloud and are shared among a specific group of people. One of the main benefits of Cloud Shared Licensing is that it gives you more control over your expenses—e.g., you do not need to buy a new license for each member of your team—and it removes the location- or server-based limits for using company-provided software.
What Is Cloud Shared Licensing?
Cloud Shared Licensing allows your team to share access to a pool of licenses in the cloud. Rather than having to purchase an individual license for each person, users have the ability to use one of the licenses in the cloud-shared subscription. For example, you might have five licenses and 50 team members with logins to access those.
Unlike other forms of shared licensing, there does not need to be a one-to-one ratio between the number of licenses and users who can access them. For example, you can have over a dozen people with cloud logins and only a handful of licenses. Only one person can use each license at a time, but users do not have to log on to a specific company server or network to interact with the program or use a license.
What Are the Benefits of Cloud Shared Licensing?
Cloud Shared Licensing is a powerful tool that allows your company to grow and take on additional projects without having to expend an unnecessarily large amount of money on buying multiple licenses for people who may not need access to the features every day. For example, you may have contractors or others who need one-time permissions or will only use the program for a fixed amount of time. Instead of purchasing an expensive license for them, you can create a login that allows them to access the product on an as-needed basis.
Cloud Shared Licensing also protects your ability to scale your business rather than bogging it down financially with hefty and prohibitive costs. When you are part of a growing company in the architectural and construction industry, it is essential to be able to rein in and scale expenses to increase your return on investment without opening yourself up to undue risk. With Cloud Shared Licensing, you can collaborate with critical stakeholders and professionals—like interns and contract workers—without having to fork over a significant amount of upfront costs just so they can access your team’s software.
Additionally, Cloud Shared Licensing gives people the power to use the systems without being connected to the company’s network. In other words, by virtue of having access to the web and the ability to log on to the cloud, the person can interact with the software as needed, as long as a license is available for use at that time.
