Licensing

Warning

Starting with version 5.6, the license enforcement logic has been updated as part of the RBAC introduction:

  • In version 5.5, superadmin users were always counted as active and had priority in login rights.

  • In version 5.6, logins of users with administrative privileges to the Admin Panel are always prioritized, regardless of the current license limits.

For more information, see the Limit of Active Users subsection.

The licensing model defines the scope of features and capacity limits available in the product. The following constraints apply based on the purchased license:

Expiration Date

Each license has a defined expiration date. After this date, access to licensed features may be restricted.

Number of Cluster Nodes

The license specifies the number of nodes that can be part of a cluster. If this number is exceeded, the additional nodes will reject connections and log appropriate events in the system logs.

Number of Servers

The license determines how many servers can be added to the system. Once this limit is exceeded, it is not possible to add new servers or modify existing ones.

Limit of Active Users

The license includes a limit on the number of active users. An active user is defined as any user who has authenticated on Fudo Enterprise within the last 30 days.

Note

Authentication is counted when a user:

  • logs in to the Admin Panel or User Access Gateway interface, or

  • connects to any server via Fudo Enterprise.

Warning

Logging into the Admin Panel is not subject to license limits. As a result:

  • When the number of active users reaches the license limit and a new user logs into the Admin Panel, the system will prioritize users with management access. In this case, the user who logged into User Access Gateway (UAG) earliest will lose access, as the privileged user is now counted as active.

  • Existing sessions of the user who lost access are not terminated — they continue to run as usual.

Password Changer Assignment Limit

There is a limit on how many accounts can have a password changer assigned. Once the limit is reached, no additional password changers can be assigned to other accounts.

Number of Concurrent Sessions

The license also sets a cap on the number of sessions that can be monitored concurrently. When the limit is reached, no new sessions can be initiated until the number of active sessions falls below the licensed value.

Supported Languages

The license defines which language versions of the product interface are available. Supported languages may include:

  • Polish (pl)

  • English (en)

  • Ukrainian (ua)

  • Russian (ru)

  • Kazakh (kk)
