The Improvision License Server (ILS) is the ideal solution to meet multi-user demand for Improvision software products. Quick and easy to set up, manage and administrate, this is a flexible and cost effective way to provide access to imaging software for large or small groups. Available for Mac and Windows OS.

The Improvision License Server allows Volocity and Openlab licenses to be accessed across a network.  The ILS dongle is programmed with the number of licenses of each Improvision product that have been purchased, and Volocity and Openlab can then be installed on any number of networked computers that are on the server network (see TechNote 263 for minimum computer specifications for the Volocity product range).  Multiple users can log on to the server and use the products they need, until all the licenses are taken.  Using an ILS system can result in higher productivity, greater resource efficiency and lower user frustration, as anyone on the network can access the imaging tools they need from their own laboratory or office.

Key Features

The Improvision License Server (ILS) has been designed to allow all the current Improvision software range to be accessed across a network. The ILS can administer any combination of multiple Volocity, Openlab and Phylum licenses to provide a total server solution.

ILS systems can comprise of just a few licenses, right up to a Volocity Site License, which provides unlimited access to Volocity Visualization, Volocity Quantitation and Volocity Restoration.  This means that every researcher can share the same imaging platform, using the same high quality tools, setting the standard for cellular imaging across an entire institution!
