Limitations of multi-device licensingulti-device licensing and multi-device activation

OneSpan Authentication Server supports multi-device licensing (MDL) and multi-device activation (MDA). This licensing and activation model applies to the following authenticators:

  • E-signature authenticators: Digipass 760
  • Software authenticators: Mobile Authenticator Studio and Mobile Security Suite

Certain multi-device licensing/multi-device activation functionalities and the Secure Channel feature are aimed at the banking security market only. Some of these functionalities will therefore not be available for typical enterprise security deployments.

The multi-device licensing/multi-device activation with the Secure Channel feature requires a SOAP provisioning and/or SOAP signature license!

With the multi-device licensing model and its one-to-one relationship between a user account and an authenticator serial number license, a user account can optionally be bound to several authenticator instances. The multi-device activation process is an activation process in two steps that guarantees that only the intended end user can perform the device activation.
