To work with Axidian CertiFlow, you must obtain a license key.

Axidian offers the following license types for Axidian CertiFlow:

  • general license,
  • add-on licenses.

General license

General license lets you manage all cards supported by Axidian CertiFlow:

  • smart cards and tokens,
  • virtual smart cards — TPM Virtual Smart Card and Windows Hello for Business,
  • Registry cards.

You should purchase a general license for every Axidian CertiFlow user.

A license is locked when you assign or issue at least one smart card to a user. You can issue or assign two cards and more to a single user — it will still lock only one license. 

If you store multiple certificates on one card, you should still get one license per user.

A license is released when you withdraw all cards from a user.

If all your licenses are locked, you can buy extra licenses. You can revoke and reassign licenses. 

A general license is required to use the services enabled by add-ons licenses.
