Tool Management Challenges
Technologists require a wide array of tools
to support a growing number of applications and databases. Any team who has
multiple licenses of an Embarcadero tool, or has wanted to quickly ramp up a
new project has probably encountered one or more of these tool management
challenges:
- Someone on the team spends a lot of time
manually tracking and moving tool licenses
- Projects have been delayed because it
takes so long to get the right tools licensed and deployed
- Teams spend a lot of time installing/uninstalling
versions of their tools
- It takes weeks or even months to get new
releases of tools to tech teams
- Locked down desktops make it difficult
to get teams the tools they need
- Has lean processes and/or use
contractors who assemble new teams rapidly
- At best, these tool management
challenges frustrate; at worst projects are impacted with costly delays
or over spending. Database and application development tools are needed
on demand but because of performance requirements, a SaaS model is not
optimal.

License Management gives teams the ability to:
- Standardize and simplify. Reduce license
complexity with one vendor and one place to administer all tool licenses
- Control access for compliance, security,
cost management
- Save hundreds of hours tracking tool
licenses
- Optimize license configurations and
purchases to and save thousands by avoiding "over-buying"
On-demand Software Delivery with InstantOn
Embarcadero tools managed by the ToolCloud
can be installed on a user’s desktop or they can be delivered and run with
InstantOn, Embarcadero’s application virtualization technology.
This enables tools to be packaged into a single file that runs without
installation. The tool runs on the desktop, locally and ‘full power’ but
does not change system areas of the OS or registry. With on-demand tool
delivery, teams can:
- Quickly access and install tools to
adapt more rapidly to changing projects, business demands
- Run multiple versions side by side, and
adapt toolsets by project and platform to respond faster to changing
business demands
- Save hundreds of dollars and hours by
avoiding costly installs and uninstalls of multiple product versions
- Empower users to access the tools they
need from anywhere on the network & locked-down desktops
- Save hundreds of hours by not having to
keep desktops up-to-date with the proper tool configurations

Licensing Should I buy a
networked named user licence or concurrent user licence?
A network named user licence is for one named individual and is the only person
permitted to use the product anywhere within the network.
A concurrent user licence allows multiple
individuals to use the product, but only up to the number of concurrent licenses
purchased. Once that limit is exceeded, anyone else trying to access the
software is denied access. A concurrent licence requires a licence server in
this instance it has to be the ELS (Embarcadero License Server).
What is ELS?
ELS are used when you wish to manage your licences over a network. Embarcadero
License Server (ELS) is a license server installed at a central location and
maintains a list of named users/concurrent users who can use the product.
What is Support and Maintenance for Toolcloud?
Support and Maintenance can be purchased at the time you purchase your product.
The support and maintenance agreement gives you a year of upgrades (including
major and minor upgrades) and a specified number of support incidents. |
