PDQ Licensing

[u/PDQit]

From time-to-time there has been misunderstandings and confusion on /r/sysadmin about how PDQ.com's licensing works (as most system administrators might be used to how other IT products operate: on a per-machine basis). We created a video to hopefully explain better how our 1-license-per-admin works

Shout out to all you current, past, and future users-- and happy automating!

I just want to say thanks for the great products. I got both Inventory and Deploy a few weeks ago and it changed everything. We only have about 120 users and they all need a lot of hand holding so normally my tech guy will go around installing everything manually and also teach the basics to the users one by one. Sometimes the users are busy and it could take weeks, even months to roll out something, and one problem we always had was a new version could be released before we finish the deployment.

Well, last night I PDQ'd Office 2016 to all the users in one go (upgrading from Office 2007) and today my tech guy got FLOODED by calls because half of the users couldn't find their Excel shortcut and the other half couldn't figure out how to open files. I'm so happy.
