How to manage licenses in Axidian CertiFlow
General license
General license lets you manage all cards supported by Axidian CertiFlow:
- Smart cards and USB tokens
- Virtual smart cards — TPM Virtual Smart Card and Windows Hello for Business
- Registry cards
You should purchase a general license for every Axidian CertiFlow user.
A license is locked when you assign or issue at least one card to a user. You can issue or assign two cards and more to a single user, and it will still lock only one license. If you store multiple certificates on one card, you should still get one license per user.
A license is released when you withdraw all cards from a user.
If all your licenses are locked, you can buy extra licenses. You can revoke a license from one user and reassign it to another one.

Axidian AirCard Enterprise – a license that allows you to use virtual smart cards. License count is based on the number of AirCard users.
