Concurrent-user site licenses

Have too many users to manage individual logins? AP Stylebook Online concurrent-user licenses allow your staff and clients to access your site license without creating a username and password.

Our concurrent-user site licenses use your broadcast IP ranges to limit access to the custom URL (like apstylebook.com/my_company_name), so only users from your network have access.

If you offer remote access, you can provide us with the broadcast IP for your VPN to include it in your IP range list for access. Your users can log in through your VPN or proxy server for easy access.

We offer more details on how our concurrent-user licenses work, and how they compared to our more popular named-user licenses: https://help.apstylebook.com/support/solutions/articles/66000378522-what-are-the-differences-between-named-user-and-concurrent-user-site-licenses-
