LAN License Server
A central license pool that lives on your LAN. Internet is optional — run fully air-gapped, or let the server reach out for extra cloud features.
What the LLS gives you
Built for facilities where the IP can’t leave the building — trailer houses, post-production studios or other secure and sensitive environments.
Internet optional.
Run fully air-gapped, or let the server reach out for cloud features like WFH checkouts. Either way, your IP doesn’t leave the building.
Centralized control
One license pool, real-time admin view. See what’s available, what’s in use, and which clients are connected.
Survives outages
If the connection drops, clients fall back to an 8-hour offline certificate and keep working.
Hybrid checkout
Need a seat for a Work-From-Home contractor? Check a license out from the pool, return it when they’re done. Live-tracked from your account dashboard.
Runs on PC, Linux or macOS
The LLS Service runs on all 3 major platforms. Mix-and-match of basehead clients welcome.
Currently free
Reach out and we’ll convert your existing multiple licenses to LLS-compatible ones at no charge.
Three steps to a managed pool
Server up
Run the LLS Service and note the hostname or IP it shows.
Connect clients
Point each workstation at that hostname or IP on the Licenses → Server Tab. The server hands out a license.
Done
Pool tracks usage in real time. Outages are handled automatically. Admins manage from a single dashboard.
Pair LLS with DSS for the smoothest team setup.
With LLS already on your network, clients auto-discover the host for shared databases — no connection strings to copy and paste. Database sharing becomes one-click.
Free for existing facilities. Just reach out.
Existing customers: send us a quick note and we’ll convert your licenses to LLS-compatible ones, then point you at the Runtime installer.
