What items and components are licensed, and what components are free?

You need a license for each of the following parts:

  • PolicyPak Application Manager
  • PolicyPak Admin Templates Manager
  • PolicyPak Preferences Manager and
  • PolicyPak Security Settings Manager data.
  • PolicyPak File Associations Manager
  • PolicyPak Browser Router
  • PolicyPak Least Privilege Manager
  • PolicyPak Java Rules Manager
  • PolicyPak Start Screen & Taskbar Manager
  • PolicyPak Scripts Manager

Those license files look like this:

For PP Group Policy Compliance Reporter:

  • Reports for free: All PolicyPak Components like:

    • PP Application Settings Manager,
    • PolicyPak Admin Templates Manager, and
    • PolicyPak Browser Router).

  • Reports which are required for be PAID:

Also note what is not required to be licensed:

Step 1 – Admin Stations

  • You do not need a license for anywhere the GPMC is running / editing / creating GPOS.
  • You do not need a license for anywhere the PolicyPak Group Policy Compliance Reporter Admin Station (Client) is running.

Step 2 – Again: You don't need a license for endpoints to use GP Compliance Reporter to report on PolicyPak -delivered specific component items. This is automatically licensed.

Remember, you do need a PP Compliance Reporter Endpoint license if you want to report on Microsoft Group Policy item types like Group Policy Security Settings.

Step 3 – PP Compliance Reporter server is no longer licensed. Only PP Compliance Reporter endpoints are licensed.

Step 4 – None of the PP Support tools like the PolicyPak Application Manager Design Studio, Powershell add-ins, or GPOTouch utility need to be licensed.

To generate license request keys for PolicyPak On-Prem suite endpoints see the Knowledge Base fort additional information.

Once you acquire licenses from our sales team, you can implement them in two ways. See PolicyPak Solution Methods: Group Policy, MDM, UEM Tools, and PolicyPak Cloud compared. for additional information on how to import the licenses.
