Cenova Licensing
Cenova is licensed using a customer-specific license key, ensuring secure and controlled access to the platform. This key activates the product for authorized organizations and enables employees to access the Cenova web portal within their company environment. The licensing model is designed to be:
- Simple and secure: License keys are generated per site, with all data and access remaining inside the company network, no external connections required.
- Flexible: The current license model utilizes license keys. these can be generated and regenerated in minutes with no dependency on license servers.
- Modular: Licensing is structured around core capabilities and optional modules (e.g., Storage Optimization, Project Governance), allowing customers to tailor their deployment to specific needs.
