Site Licensing

For large organizations, managing licensing for many users becomes a huge hassle. You never know from day to day how many licenses you will precisely need. Site licenses address this very problem, allowing a blanket license to work for all members of an organization or all persons at a specific organization location. Contact the Hachisoft sales staff at 1 (866) 685-6070 to discuss a site license for your organization.

A site license may be distributed via our Sitewide Deployment system.

If you have purchased a Group or Site license, then you will likely need a mechanism for installing and configuring many computer systems. Hachisoft products can be deployed and configured sitewide via command line parameters on the installation program.   Silent installations and automated seat activations offer system administrators an easy way to provide our software to your entire organization.
