Alchemy NETWORK License Manager simplifies enterprise wide deployment of Alchemy CATALYST™

Alchemy NETWORK License Manager reduces total cost of ownership for enterprise clients

DUBLIN and SALEM – September 2, 2006 – Alchemy Software Development Ltd., the world leader in visual localization solutions, today announced the release of Alchemy NETWORK License Manager™ 2.0. and two new services for their Network License deployments. Network Licensing enables you to share all your Alchemy product licenses across your organization. It creates a 'pool' of centralized licenses that can be used across multiple client workstations and different geographical locations.

Alchemy NETWORK License Manager™ 2.0 is a server based technology which helps manage this 'pool' of licenses. It provides secure access to and centralized management of all Alchemy product licenses across the enterprise.

Enterprises that deploy an Alchemy NETWORK License server can create a pool of product licenses that client workstations can use. This enables Alchemy product licenses to be shared across the enterprise with ease. Using Network Licenses, every client workstation can have an installation of Alchemy CATALYST™. This improves the availability of Alchemy technology while the central license server provides a secure and easy to manage administration console. Using Network Licenses, Alchemy CATALYST™ is available anytime, anyplace, anywhere.

With the launch of Alchemy NETWORK License Manager™, several server configurations are now possible:-

• Single License Server: Ideal for small deployments that want to centralize all licenses on a single license server. Works best in LAN topologies.
  
  
• Distributed License Server: Best overall option that allows for multiple license servers that pool aggregate number of licenses and makes them available to the entire organization. This technology is extremely easy to deploy and scales easiest with the growth in the number of Alchemy licenses and locations. It also has the benefit of working in both LAN and WAN topologies.
  
  
• Redundant License Server: A configuration of precisely three license servers that communicate with each other and collectively manage the pool of licenses. If any one of the server goes down, the pool is still available to the organization. This configuration, while the most fault tolerant, works best on a Local Area Network (LAN).

“Alchemy NETWORK License Manager™ provides a powerful, yet easy to control mechanism for managing large deployments of Alchemy CATALYST™ across the enterprise”, said Tony O'Dowd, CEO and President of Alchemy Software Development, “it increases product availability at every workstation in an organization, reducing total cost of ownership”.

“Alchemy NETWORK License Manager™ gives an administrator control over an individual user's or group's ability to access Alchemy CATALYST™ software licenses”, said Enda McDonnell, Chief Architect at Alchemy Software Development, “Licenses can be moved from one group to another without having to install or uninstall software. ”
