CloudBased Floating Network Licenses

CloudBased Containers allow you to leave the dongles at home and access your basehead license from anywhere.
You don’t have constant internet either as it will coast on a temp certificate for a few days in case your ISP is unreliable.
We also built this new system so it will integrate with the same existing .key file system and you can jump between License Containers on the ‘My Licenses Page’ from Cloud to a USB Device to System Drive Binding or to iLok Binding. It’s super flexible as a License Container is just a container. You choose which one to use and when!
Heading to the jungle to record for a week?
Then bind to your laptop and move it back to Cloud when you get back to civilization with internet.
NOTE: old CodeMeter CmStick/CmACT users can’t jump at will between license containers and should contact use at licensing ‘AT’ baseheadinc ‘DOT’ com.
Here is a screenshot of an Activated Cloud Container on the ‘My Licenses’ page. They also give you info on who is using the current license with the option to Kick them off.
The main focus when designing these new Cloud License Containers was definitely partially Pandemic driven. So by design, each license can be assigned to individual Named Users that need to move about easily to multiple locations if needed.
No IT experience is required to Dish these out, Manage, Deactivate and Re-assign them. 8)
Here are some typical cases when you might want to switch to CloudBased Licenses…
- Users that want to use their same license at home and at work or at the same location on multiple rigs.
- Facilities that need to Dish out/Manage Licenses to WFH users quickly and painlessly.
- Users wanting to lend their homie a license for a few days. Share BaseHead Love man! You bought the license so we believe you should be able to hand it off to anyone to borrow for a few days easily and whenever. No licensing C-Blocking going on here. 😉

What if I leave my Cloud Session running at home and go to work?
No problem! On the ‘My Licenses Page’ you will see a ‘Logout’ button and force kill the current running copy OR you can press the ‘Hostile Takeover’ button on Licenses tab inside BH when the license shows as ‘In Use’
What if my internet goes down for a few hours?
We built in a 48-96 hour Grace Period into these Cloud Containers to solve this problem. basehead will coast on a temp license certificate for up to 48 hours giving plenty of time for your Internet Service Provider (ISP) to get their act together and back up and running. 😉
