Managing Remote Desktop Manager registration globally for all your users can be done with a license serial stored in an advanced data source such as Devolutions Server, Microsoft SQL Server, or Azure SQL.
It is possible to 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.
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.
