Enfocus has established a new subscription model for PitStop Pro 13, which will be released mid-April. It will continue to offer the PitStop Pro license key option to those who prefer capital expenditure over operational expenditure.
Fabian Prudhomme, VP of Enfocus, said: “The Cloud has changed how many companies access technology, but it’s not the right solution for everyone. So before making any changes to our license options, we went to our customers to confirm exactly what they needed. The result of that survey greatly influenced the licensing options for PitStop Pro.”
The subscription license is tied to a new system that utilises customers’ account identification, called Enfocus ID. To access their PitStop Pro subscription, users sign into their accounts using their Enfocus ID. Once authorised, the subscription to PitStop Pro is enabled on that computer. The users remain signed in and do not need to re-enter their credentials every time they are online.
To access their subscription from another computer, users simply log out and use their Enfocus ID to log in from the new computer - such as a different computer at their company or a laptop at home. Companies can purchase multiple subscriptions with one Enfocus ID, and assign them to staff.
A single monthly subscription for PitStop Pro will cost £25 per month, or £20 per month with an annual prepaid contract at £240, while a perpetual license costs £579.
