Team Subscription License (TSL) is a license option that is intended to support casual or occasional users of the software. The size of a TSL is represented as a number of allocatable seats.
Why Choose the TSL Option
While User Subscription Licenses are better for dedicated users, Team Subscription Licenses can be a good complement to these if your organization has occasional, less heavy users of the software.
How it Works
Each user of a TSL must have an account in the My Transoft Portal to request a license. Internet access is required for this process.
When an end user starts the software product on their workstation, the software will connect to the My Transoft Portal and will determine if any of the seats are available. If a seat is available, it will be allocated and dedicated to that end user who will have unrestricted access to it for 24 hours. At the end of the 24-hour period the seat allocation will automatically expire, and another user will be able to claim it.
Once all the TSL seats are allocated at a given time, no other end user will be able to use that license until the 24-hour period expires and one of the seats is automatically deallocated.
Key Benefits of TSL
- More flexibility for your team members
Allows access to software for casual users without having to spend on dedicated licenses for all users. - Less administrative effort by IT
Easy access to software for casual users without IT having to allocate or transfer licenses amongst team members, self-administered by users with automatic 24-hour lock. - Combined Team & User Subscription option
