Extensis today released , which provides administrators added control over the usage of fonts across a workgroup or an entire organization. Administrators have the ability to manage their font libraries centrally, manage their font licenses and compliancy effectively, and ensure all workgroup members are using the identical versions of all fonts. Suitcase Server X1 offers greater control over the usage of fonts on client desktops with a series of permissions to allow individual-users to control specific client features, such as the ability to automatically remove all non-approved fonts, the power to save finds and the authority to override system fonts on local machines, and more. The English version of Suitcase Server X1 is available for $1,200 for the Server (with a complimentary client license). Additional clients are $130 per seat.
Extensis says that by utilizing Suitcase Server X1, administrators can remove any unapproved fonts that a user may have added to any of the System Font folders. In addition, administrators can decide on a user-by-user basis, which individuals have permission to temporarily add fonts to their local Suitcase Client.
