Universal Type Clients are now licensed on a machine basis. This allows you to have two or more users on a single machine, and have only a single client license consumed for that machine.
Client licenses are tracked by Type Server ensuring that client users who have not connected to the network for more than 30 days are prompted to reconnect, then cleared if no connection is established. This releases the license for use by another client.
To maintain control over rogue fonts in client user system font folders, administrators can now create a system font policy. This is basically a list of fonts allowed into client operating system folders that can be enforced on a user-by-user basis.
Administrators can now select multiple users to apply and update settings for all selected users at once. Import users from a TXT file – To speed setup and configuration of your server, Universal Type Server now supports the import of users through a tab-delimited text file.
