: Licenses are primarily based on the number of technicians who resolve tickets.

ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus is a widely adopted ITSM tool that helps organizations manage IT support tickets, assets, and projects. Unlike hardware-dongle licensing or proprietary binary formats, ManageEngine utilizes an open standard—Extensible Markup Language (XML)—to manage software entitlements.

By following these best practices and managing your ManageEngine ServiceDesk Plus license with XML, you can ensure that your IT service management solution is always up-to-date and running smoothly.

If your license has expired and the service will not start, use the command-line tool. PitStop ManageEngine
