SimpleHelp 5.0 License Transition
We're making some changes to SimpleHelp licenses.
This guide explains why licensing is changing, and how the changes will affect existing customers.

Why the change?
There are three main reasons we are changing the way SimpleHelp is licensed.
1. Simplicity and Flexibility
In recent versions we expanded SimpleHelp to add a new range of Remote Management features. The new features were well received but we consistently heard from customers what said that remote management licensing is confusing, and too inflexible to meet their needs. 2. Niche Features We've been developing Enterprise-grade features that are useful to a small subset of our customers, and need a mechnism to charge new enterprise customers without affecting costs for everyone. 3. Support We want to better serve the customers we have, but also be able to offer more extensive support for those that need it. |
Our goal is to simplify SimpleHelp licensing for both new and existing customers and give the best value we possibly can to customer with different needs.
Standard, Business or Enterprise
SimpleHelp 5.0 Licenses are still based on sessions. Instead of confusing add-ons to standard licenses we've split functionality into three tiers: Standard, Business and Enterprise, each of which has a different feature set depending on your needs.

Standard License Details
A Standard license is similar to the previous SimpleHelp license and the available features match as well - Remote Support, Remote Access, Presentations and Live Monitoring.
The number of remote access services that can register is limited to 1000. The number of attendees is limited to 5, but now each presentation uses just one session.
Any classic SimpleHelp license can transition for no cost. New Standard licenses are limited to a maximum of 20 sessions.
