Exceed onDemand 5 — A Technical Whitepaper In the other words, “de-activate” option can be used as a passive license enforcement mechanism. Imagine a situation where 10 assigned/named licenses were purchased and installed. Exceed onDemand Server would keep track of all the users that ever logged on to the Server. The first time a user connected to Exceed onDemand Server, an active account would be created for that user. All 10 licenses are “assigned” after 10 users have logged on to the Server. But let’s assume one of the users was not supposed to connect to this Server. Instead of removing the user account, the administrator could deactivate it. The next time when the same user connected to the Server, the Server would not create a new active account for that user, and the user would be effectively blocked from accessing the Server again. File Management Xstart and Xconfig files can be easily managed using Exceed onDemand Server Manager. In fact, global files can only be created, modified and deleted using the Server Manager. Administrators are also given full access and full rights to manage user-defined files. In addition, administrators can distribute or relocate both global and user-defined files using this intuitive user interface.
