Managing Remote Desktop Manager registration globally for all your users can be done with a license serial stored in an advanced data source (small teams and enterprises): Devolutions Server, Devolutions Hub Business, CyberArk, Microsoft Azure SQL, and Microsoft SQL Server.
The Licenses menu is available for all data source types (granted you have permission to access to the Administration section) but behaves differently:
For Devolutions Server, Devolutions Hub Business, and Devolutions Hub Personal, the menu brings up the web page of the corresponding data source. You could be prompted to connect to your account on the web.
For all other data source types, the menu opens in Remote Desktop Manager.
With the license stored in an advanced data source, there is no need to register Remote Desktop Manager as the license serial is retrieved directly from it. When launching the application for the first time, add the data source containing the serial.
Request a trial to try Remote Desktop Manager for 30 days. If you decide not to register the application at the end of the 30 days period, your data will not be altered or erased, and you will have full access to it once you provide a valid license serial.

Your license is now saved in the advanced data source. Follow Assign Licenses to automatically assign them to selected users, removing the need to interact locally with their Remote Desktop Manager. Licenses have a limited number of users and can be assigned automatically with Auto assign or to specific users in the Assigned to tab.
Only the CyberArk license has unlimited users.
A Devolutions Gateway license is not needed when configuring a gateway, only when opening a connection.
If you need to register your license while offline (if internet is disabled or if for whatever reason you cannot reach the servers), you can only do it by importing the .lic file provided to you, which contains a JSON Web Token (JWT).
Trial license: The license file must be downloaded from the Devolutions confirmation email and imported as described in the steps above for Remote Desktop Manager 2023.3 and later.
Purchased license: The purchased license must be first entered in then downloaded from your Devolutions Portal account, before being imported as a license file (.lic) as described in the steps above for Remote Desktop Manager 2023.3 and later.
