Limiting Concurrent User Count Per Vault

Hello,

As it mentioned in the subject, in this Forum Post and as the article is still in Support Portal , I'd like to be sure if it's still possible to limit concurrent licensed user count that can login into a specific vault. We are running version 25.4 on our server. 

Thanks

  • Hi,

    The original forum post is a few years old now and the article has been removed. I've not been able to confirm if the mentioned registry settings work anymore for on-premise environments.

    The best practice for when you want to guarantee access to Users to a Vault, is to use Named Licenses. It is also recommended to make sure that if you use Concurrent Licenses, the Automatic Logout settings are up to date: Article

    This makes sure that no Concurrent Licenses are left hanging while not actually in use.

  • The article was there 6 hours ago when I linked ? Why it's not there anymore ?

    And, no what you are suggesting does not work as usage scenerio is;

    1 server and many vaults but one or some of them should have a fixed amount of active users, not more. 

  • I don't know the answer to that Cagri, but these things do change periodically (we publish new ones and take down old ones).  Maybe a similar query was raised (e.g. via a support ticket) and someone happened to notice that that support article is outdated, and it's purely coincidental that it happened just after you posted this.

    In general - at least on-premises - a licence is a server-level concept (in the cloud it operates a little differently, but then you don't have to manage the licences and users directly there).  I personally wasn't aware of the registry key that Joonas described, but I am sure that it worked three years ago when it was posted.  I also suspect that it still works now but I cannot guarantee that.  Have you tried?

    If you want to know its long-term supportability then this forum is not the correct medium.  To get an answer like that it would need to go via our support team and probably to the appropriate product team to decide whether or not this is something that we can guarantee; it's not my area so I certainly couldn't comment on that.
