Insider Font Control Suite
Insider Font Control Suite combines FontAgent Server, FontAgent, and FontAgent DC3 to distribute fonts across an enterprise and help manage license compliance. FontAgent Server organizes and tracks fonts, including purchase histories, receipts, agreements, and seat counts. It can alert administrators when terms are exceeded and report which users have fonts and when they activate them. FontAgent DC3 synchronizes with the server and runs on business users’ Macs and PCs, as well as rendering, application, and remote-session servers. FontAgent Server is available on Mac, Windows, and Linux, with cloud or on-premises deployment. Administrators can manage distribution permissions, restrict local importing and exporting, and control system-font visibility. Supported font formats are OpenType, TrueType, dfont, and PostScript Type 1. Server sign-on supports Azure or Okta authentication and enterprise directory integration; FontAgent for Mac supports Adobe Creative Cloud. The downloaded client and server software runs in trial mode for 30 days or until converted through a purchase. Pricing starts at $59 per user per year.
