Before diving into licensing, let’s establish why PDQ Deploy is worth the investment. PDQ Deploy allows you to deploy software to Windows domains with remarkable speed. You can push MSIs, EXEs, patches, scripts, and updates to individual machines or entire collections. Key features include:

But the free version (PDQ Deploy Free) has significant limitations—you cannot schedule deployments, save multiple packages, or deploy to more than one machine at a time. To unlock the full potential, you need a PDQ Deploy license key for the Pro or Enterprise edition.

    The PDQ Deploy license key follows a strictly per-administrator model, meaning you pay for the number of people using the console rather than the number of computers you manage. 1. Licensing Mechanics

    Per-Admin Model: Each individual IT administrator who uses the software requires their own license. For example, if two admins use the tool, you need two licenses regardless of whether you manage 50 or 5,000 devices.

    Key Format: The license key is a block of text that must be copied and pasted exactly into the software, including the dashes at the beginning and end.

    Activation: You can activate the software by navigating to Help > License and either browsing for the license file or pasting the key directly.

    Subscription vs. Perpetual: While licenses were historically described as "perpetual" (allowing indefinite use of the version owned at expiration), current PDQ Deploy Enterprise licenses require an active subscription to access product updates, support, and the Package Library. 2.
