Restrict usage
After the licensed seat limit is reached, new activations will be blocked across your whole team and overused fonts will be marked inside FontBase.
Monitor your team
Team owners get to see what team members use what fonts at any time. There is also an option to deactivate any font for any team member remotely.
But others have it too...
You might think font license compliance for enterprise and design teams is a common feature and every font manager should have it too. Not really*. Take a better look:

Questions?
General
+Is font licensing available for free?
Font licensing is available as part of our FontBase Awesome subscription. With that, you can create unlimited font licenses and seats for as cheap as $3/month per team member.
+Is there a limit of fonts that I can license?
No. You can create a license for any amount of fonts you own, there are no restrictions.
+Can anyone create font licenses?
If you have a FontBase Awesome subscription, you can create and sync font licenses. If you have a multi-seat subscription, only you as the team owner will be able to create and manage licenses. Other team members will be able to only view them.
+What happens if the number of seats is exceeded?
When the preset number of seats per font license is reached (for example 5 team members have this font activated, and the license has 5 maximum seats set), new activations will be blocked, so team members will not be able to activate the font. In order to activate the font, someone from the team will need to deactivate it first.
Other
+How does license sync work exactly?
When the team owner creates licenses, they are automatically stored inside the FontBase account on our servers. If other team members are online, the new licenses are displayed in real-time inside their accounts, or synced when they come online.
+Is there any other font manager that offers similar features?
We have done the research, and the only other font manager offering similar licensing features is FontAgent. But it requires an extensive setup and an additional font server installation, which complicates the process a lot. So we decided not to include it in our comparison of standalone font managers.
