Licensing the Client

The Velocity Client requires a license for full functionality. You can use the Client without a license, but you are limited to the demo mode. While in demo mode, you may initiate sessions with hosts. However, each session will automatically disconnect after a specific period of time.

Velocity Client licensing is on a per-client basis, not on a per-connection basis. This means that one license allows one Velocity Client to engage in the maximum number of sessions that the Velocity Client is configured to support (up to four concurrent sessions).

Types of licenses

A license authorizes you to use a version of the Velocity Client and any builds associated with that version. For example, if you purchased a 1.2 Velocity license, then you are entitled to use 1.2.xx builds. 

Some licenses for Velocity are restricted to a type of connection or specific hardware. For information about Lite TE licenses (also known as Velocity Android Limited) that are restricted to specific hardware, see the Lite TE Features and Licensing paper. Make sure to purchase the licenses that provide the level of service you require.

Speakeasy for Velocity is licensed separately, but uses the same license distribution methods as Velocity.

Subscription and conversion licenses

Subscription or conversion licenses have end dates associated with them. When you renew your contract, new licenses with a new end date are issued. You must replace the old licenses with the new licenses, either by adding the new licenses to the License Server or through manual licensing. Information about the licensing methods is included below.

Licensing methods

There are three ways to license the Velocity Client:

Pre-licensing. The Velocity Client may come pre-installed and pre-licensed on your device. For pre-licensing information, please consult your device manufacturer or reseller.

License Server. Use an Ivanti License Server to automatically provide Velocity Client licenses to the mobile devices on your network. For more information, see the License Server User Guide.

Manual licensing. Use the Velocity Client interface on the mobile device to manually input licensing information.

Although Speakeasy is licensed separately, you can distribute Speakeasy licenses manually or using the License Server.

To obtain Velocity licenses, please contact Ivanti Customer Service.
