Introduction
Ivanti Connect Secure software includes Ivanti Licensing and Software Download Center @ https://my.pulsesecure.net, that lets you configure the Connect Secure device as a license server to allow administrators to view all configured systems and move those licenses as needed. Other devices on the network lease licenses from the central license server.
Alternatively, you can install and manage licenses directly on each device and eliminate the license server entirely. Your company’s needs and requirements dictate which configuration is best for you.
