Overview

Tom Sawyer Licensing, Release 2.0.0 features a completely new design. New technologies were implemented in order to support a larger number of end users and improved scalability and performance. With a new graphical reporting feature created with Tom Sawyer Perspectives, you can visualize the usage of a license over time, allowing for better management of your end-user community. A redesign of Tom Sawyer Licensing Administration, driven by our customers' feedback, provides better support and an improved user interface.

License usage tracking has been completely renovated with new functionality for end-user management. Now you can better control who uses your Tom Sawyer products by fine tuning product access, such as blocking specific end users or making them permanent. We have also included a powerful Tom Sawyer Perspectives dashboard to help you visualize how your end-user community uses your Tom Sawyer products.
