VeExpress™
Cloud-based License Management Service
VeExpress™ (US Patent 9,900,393) is a centralized (cloud) service hosted by VeEX, which allows its customers to seamlessly manage software licenses for their geographically-dispersed fleet of test equipment and users. The basic service is provided free of charge, with the purchase of supported test sets, and offering the following features:
- Purchased licenses: Retrieve newly purchased test features directly to the test set (new functions become immediately available).
- Share licenses: Release existing licenses from one test set, back to the company’s common pool, so it is made available to be immediately requested and retrieved by another user who needs it. Administrators have the option to limit the amount of time shared licenses is assigned to a test set, make them permanent (non-shareable) or work as an honor peer-to-peer system.
- Rent licenses: Temporary licenses can be leased from VeEX to support special projects or for newer technology trials.
- Keep test sets up-to-date: Download and update platform and modules’ software directly from the server to the test set (USB memory stick required). Its web interface also provides access to superseded software versions, in the rare case users are instructed to downgrade.
- Create basic working groups: Administrators and managers can create simple organization charts (crews, garages, business units, cities, regions, etc.)
- R-Server™ Integration: Managers have direct access to VeExpress test set and license information directly from VeSion® R-Server, with the ability to assign and release licenses for R-Server registered test sets.
VeExpress helps manage and share test features from a group’s license pool, whether those options are purchased, leased-to-own, or rented temporarily. It also helps keep all test sets up-to-date with the latest SW versions available. Tracks all deployed hardware and software options.

Minimize CAPEX and optimize OPEX by managing your test set fleet with VeExpress. Modern test and measurement platforms provide all-inclusive multi-purpose test hardware at a lower cost, enabling/disabling test features and capabilities as needed in the field via software licensing. VeExpress provides the tools to manage owned or rented test set licenses (test functions) in a seamless, automated (behind the scenes) and real-time fashion.
Stop purchasing test sets loaded with extra features, or place multiple orders for the specific needs, configurations, and applications of each group of users. Reduce CAPEX by purchasing what’s really needed on daily basis and proactively managing your software and hardware assets. Share and/or rent licenses that are not commonly used or on a per-project basis.
