Manage Licenses

The server, client, and viewer licenses that are claimed by Meridian Explorer and Publisher can be viewed in the Meridian Enterprise Server Administration Console along with the licenses claimed by Meridian Enterprise modules and users.

Note:

The number of licenses that are listed in Meridian Enterprise Server Administration Console are retrieved from the Meridian Enterprise License Server during repository synchronization. If you register additional licenses with the Meridian Enterprise License Server, they will not be available to Meridian Enterprise Server until after the next vault synchronization has occurred.
