FEATURES Mission criticle Ultra stable. Since remote control should be. Customizable Clients can be tailored to you needs. Flexible licensing system CAB uses one central license based on a concurrent use ( floating license ) principle. Just select what mix of applications will be used at any given time up to the maximum license value. Licences can be adapted easily by using an update application. There is no need to install a dongle on each machine or sending dongles by mail for each license change. Easy installation Applications can be started from a local drive or over the network. The server is equipped with an embedded database driver so there is no need to install a database serverr or additional driver software on each machine. Almost all changes to settings are effective immediately without restarting applications. Robust and low maintenance All clients reconnect to the server automatically as soon as the network becomes available again. Because only the server owns the database, there is no risk of record or file locking. In case of replacing a defective machine, reconfigurationn is not necessary: all clients save their settings in the central database, not in local files or (worse) the registry. Page 4 / 12
