Tell us how we could make TSplus products even more useful to you.

Multiple Two-Factor Authentication Methods

Many customers have asked for the ability to enable two-factor authentication using both an authenticator app and email. The idea would be to allow users to set a preferred (primary) method, but if they are temporarily unable to access the app, they should have the option to select “Sign in with another method” and authenticate via email or SMS (if configured). This functionality is available with many other providers and services, and it would be extremely useful to have it implemented in TSplus as well. It would improve flexibility, usability, and overall user experience without compromising security. Thank you for considering this request.

Farm Licensing

I would like to revisit an idea that I pitched last year, which would allow to have a different, more fluid licensing system for Server Farms. What this would ideally enable is for the user to set a total number of concurrent users per farm, which they could then play around with within the load-balancer. Picture this: There is a client who wants to have a farm with 10 concurrent users. Licensing and financially wise for the client, it is best to offer him 5+5 concurrent users for the application servers (not taking into account the gateway right now). There might however come a time where the client suddenly needs to shift things around and have a 7+3 setup instead of 5+5 for whatever reason. In order to allow this, the client would realistically have to buy a 10+10 user setup, which would allow him to freely loadbalance between these servers. This would however mean that they have to pay for twice as many users as they have. Now I understand that this is a bit easier to do if you have the entire farm as a subscription as you can play around with it from the customer portal, but a large portion of the clients are looking for perpetual licensing because owning>renting in this day and age which is becoming apparent in many other industries as well. At least that is the sentiment that I feel. Could we come up with a way to offer them a perpetual-like license which would act as a pool of total concurrent connections per farm? Let's say you would apply it to the gateway and the loadbalancer would automatically take this number and spread it across the servers based on the user's preferences? You could also be able to turn this feature on and off, or make it so that it only works with an active update and support license and call the feature "Pool load-balancing". That would create another incentive to make sure your support is always up-to-date. I would love to hear your feedback on this! DD

Live License Version GUI Inside the License Portal

I would like to propose something that would be very useful for MSPs, resellers, or anyone with a larger number of licenses. While we currently have the option to check whether or not a license has an active update&support license, that doesn't always corelate with whether the client actually updated their installation. As far as I am aware we already have a check that refreshes the license information and synchronizes it with the portal roughly every 24 hours. Now I am not aware whether this is only one way Portal>AdminTool, or if it is also possible to collect something at the same time (version number in this case). With this information, I would like to have a section in the online portal where the client could see all of their licenses in a nice list with a "latest version" indicator + current version build if not currently up to date with the prompt to update to the latest version. This would help out the license managers by not forcing them to check each of their installations to make sure it is up to date. Instead they would be able to see exactly which one is up-to-date and which one needs updating. Support might also benefit from this, as it would save them a step where they check whether the user is up-to-date or not, and it might theoretically slightly decrease the number of tickets caused by issues that are solved simply by updating to the latest version. If we had this functionality, we could also explore how we can improve farm management via a subscription, as you could change the number of users for separate computers inside a subscription and then remotely "force" a license refresh, completely mitigating the need to go inside the admintool and refresh the license manually, which would allow clients to change around the number of users inside a farm if needed without having to log onto the servers one by one. Of course, you would first need to remove users from a computer to be able to add them to a different one inside the subscription. I think having a separate section inside the customer portal that monitors all the licenses connected to the given activation key(s) would be hugely beneficial in terms of IT management, reducing headaches, and optimalization. Additionally, having a refresh button inside the customer portal could save some extra time for both the client and support. I would love to hear your thoughts on this and discuss it further. DD
