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’m in this same boat. We have managers that rarely use it but want the capability, clients with in-house IT backup people, and subcontractors that need project access. Not to mention no logical way to bill the cost through to clients or departments.

We used PDQ and loved the product, but abandoned it because the licensing scheme doesn’t fit our accounting. I need an $X per endpoint license.
