Enterprise Browser-based Desktop Menuing and Application License Metering for NetWare®, Windows®, MetaFrame®, and Terminal Servers®
Launch Command® is the enterprise solution for network menuing and application license metering. It uses the power of your Internet browser to display graphical, centrally administered network menus. Each menu can contain links to applications, Internet sites, and other menus.
Creating a ten-application menu takes only a matter of minutes. Since the system was designed to work on a network, the sometimes complicated task of establishing drive letter mappings becomes a simple browse-and-select operation.
Everything you would expect in a powerful network menuing system is at you fingertips. Features like choice reordering, menu formatting changes, color selection grids, and license usage reporting tools are all available from the Launch Command administrative module.
If you are looking for a way to provide a menu with a common user interface, simple administrative tools, powerful license metering, multiple server and operating system support, and the ability to create attractive network menus, look no further than Launch Command from EnvisionWare.
This chart provides a comparison of features in both released versions of Launch Command. Note that the current Version 4 product is only available in the Kiosk edition. As development continues, features available in the V2 series will be ported and updated to new technology in V4. When all desired functionality is included in Version 4, the traditional version will be discontinued.
