Token Licensing

Aspen Token System: Concept

Token Pool

▪ Tokens can be used generically for any products

in the licensed suite within the token limit

▪ Tokens are released when the user closes the Single License File
product

▪ User-Based Tokens are never permanently

consumed

▪ Each instance of an application uses Tokens

Standard Tokens are shared amongst users
using a check-in / check-out system
Discoverability | Rapid Adoption | Growth via Intensity

A token pool holds your licensed tokens

Tokens are shared among all applications and/or users
Tokens can be borrowed temporarily by users and used on the road.
