Progeny Licensing

What is Global Licensing?

Progeny registrations are monitored by the concurrent license usage, which allows your facility to have as many named users as needed for your convenience. For example, if you have purchased 10 licenses (as comes with our Premium Cloud accounts) when the 11th user attempts to log in to Progeny, they would receive a License Usage Exceeded notification and would not be allowed to log into the software until another user logs out.

How does it work?

Progeny communicates with the Global License Server (GLS) with a simple handshake to let the server know that one of the users of a specific license is using the software. The same thing happens when a user closes or logs out of the software.

Is this secure?

Absolutely, the handshake between your web client and the GLS does not pass any data or private information from your database. It uses your license registration number to let the server know when a user logs in and logs out. The transactions are completely encrypted between the client and the GLS.

What is required from my facility in order for Global Licensing to work?

The GLS will choose any random port open on the client side and will connect on port 443 (TLS). In the event, your firewall blocks this connection attempt, a static route from the client to the GLS would be required to allow the connection to the host address: gls.progenygenetics.com.
