FontAgent Server Manager

Manage Font Licenses

Contents

    FontAgent® Server’s License Manager lets you store font license details, control and monitor font usage, and drive font license compliance across your organization.

    How Do Licenses Work in FontAgent Server?

    To use font licenses in FontAgent Server, you first create font licenses and define their details. Then, you assign those licenses to fonts and sets, which establishes the number of instances of the font that you can legally distribute to users.

    As you assign fonts and sets to users, FontAgent Server keeps track of which fonts are in use by which users. You can view reports and alerts by font, user, group or machine to get a quick, real-time snapshot of font usage and compliance across your organization for specific time periods.

    To manage font licenses in FontAgent Server, you must first launch the Server Manager. You must also have been granted permissions to manage licenses on your server.
