PCoIP Management Console Enterprise is enabled through subscription licensing provided on a per managed device basis for terms of one and three years. Licenses can be added together to achieve the total number of necessary managed devices, with packages available in sizes of 100, 500, and 1,000 managed devices.
Licenses come by email after you order them and contain one activation code for each license SKU ordered. Activation codes (also known as entitlement IDs) have an alphanumeric format of 0123-4567-89AB-CDEF.
The following is an example of the email content for 3x100 license SKUs:
