General Description of the Feature
A new process of Licensing and controlling User login in DSW/DASW has been developed and can be linked with any application that has version 3.7.0 and above.
The flow of the Licensing Service communication is the following:
The connection between the License Server and the DSW application can be:
- live connection with services
- offline connection with file exchange (this is used in cases where the DSW application is in servers/countries we can not have live integration with our License Server system)
In depth Documentation

The articles include detailed information for the License Server preparation, License assignment and usage.
Prerequisites
- DSW/DASW version 3.7.0 and above
- Creation and preparation of a License Server that will be linked with the relevant application
- Link of the License Server with the DSW/DASW application - Services communication
Business Benefit
Provide a complete solution on organizing and handling the User licensing.
Configuration
To enable the License Server on a system, the relevant IT team must set it up and link it with a DSW/DASW.
By default, licensing is disabled and it can be enabled in appSettings.config by configuring the key LicensingMode. The setting LicensingMode has these available values:
Value | Description |
|---|---|
| Disabled | OD Licensing UI is hidden and users do not need a valid license to login (used for testing or when another license service is used, e.g. B1) |
| Enabled | OD Licensing UI is enabled and only users with a valid license can login (used for licensing systems without B1) |
| Bypass | OD Licensing UI is enabled, but all users can login, ignoring license status (used only during initial configuration of the system, since we need access to UI to import and assign licenses) |
