There are three optional extensions for the Universal Management Suite (UMS):

  • High Availability (HA): highly available thin client management with load balancing
  • Universal Customization Builder (UCB): individual expansion packages for the IGEL firmware
  • IGEL Management Interface (IMI): REST API for integrating UMS with your environment

To use these extensions, licenses are required.

Licensing the High Availability (HA) Extension

A basic HA installation contains a free demo license for five thin clients managed by the UMS to enable you to carry out basic tests, e.g. with IGEL test set-ups. If you require licenses for further thin clients, please contact your IGEL reseller.

Licensing Universal Customization Builder (UCB)

In order to obtain a UCB license, you must successfully take part in a paid IGEL UCB training course (in-house or classroom training).

Licensing IGEL Management Interface (IMI)

In oder to use IMI you need to purchase a maintenance subscription. This involves obtaining a Delivery Token from your IGEL reseller and Get Your ICG License from the IGEL License Portal.
