HP Anyware Licensing Models

HP Anyware is supported by two licensing models. Each model requires a specific license type:

• Cloud Licensing Service: These licenses should be used if your PCoIP agent has access to the internet.
• License Server based licenses: These licenses should be used if your PCoIP agent runs in a restricted environment and does not have access to the internet.

Most PCoIP deployments can take advantage of the automated Cloud Licensing Service which eliminates the complexity of on-premises licensing infrastructure. If your deployment cannot use cloud licensing, either because the site is not connected to the public internet or local management of licenses is necessary then License Server based licensing may be the appropriate licensing model.
