Introduction

Ivanti Connect Secure software includes Ivanti Licensing and Software Download Center @ https://forums.ivanti.com/s/product-downloads, 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.

•When nSA Named User Licensing is enabled on Gateway, and if there is connectivity issue between Gateway and Controller, grace period of 5 days is applied for new user logins up to platform limit.

Choosing the Licensing Mode

You can use either Gateway licenses or nSA Named User licenses. You can switch between these two licensing modes any time. Gateway Licensing mode is same as the existing 9.x Gateway licensing.

nSA Named user licensing is introduced in 21.x release as part of the larger suite user licensing effort. The named user SKUs enable a certain number of named users on nSA defined by the SKU.

With named user model, when an end-user logs in, a single named user license is consumed. Afterwards, even if the same end-user logs in from multiple devices, only a single license is consumed. Details of named users can be seen on the nSA under subscriptions. For example, If an enterprise customer has 1000 employees with 1000 named user licenses. Each employee/user can choose to login from multiple devices. However, only a single license will be consumed for that user. For more information, see nSA documentation.

To choose the licensing mode:

1.In the admin console of the license server, choose System > Configuration > Licensing > Licensing Summary.

The License Summary page shows the two options, Gateway Licensing Mode and nSA Named User Licensing Mode. By default, Gateway Licensing Mode is selected.

2.Choose the required mode and click Switch. A log message is displayed upon the successful switch.
