Additional features added

Support for Azure Entra Custom Security attributes: The ability to now register and store all Badge/QRCode/BLE User ID's within your Azure Entra Tenant. All Card/Badge ID's are fully encrypted, and cannot be replicated, copied etc.. We have removed the reliance of using Our API/Keycloak Azure services for those that wish to migrate to a Self-hosted Azure services.

Receive all Printer Activity Logs directly into your Azure Log Analytics workspace: we now can log all users Print, Copy, Fax, Scan and device consumable activities directly into your own Azure Log Analytics Workspace, which then can be used for Reports and Alerts etc.. Existing customers whishing to receive Printer activity Logs must migrate over to Azure Entra Custom Security Attributes and implement an Azure Log-Analytics workspace. ( No reporting will be provided for customers wishing to be serviced by our current API/Keycloak system)

QRcode Sign-in Support for 4.3" Workpath Enabled Printers: We have adjusted the Console screen layout to better support QRcode Sign-in on 4.3" Screen, mainly around better support for Universal Print.

Due the the screen real-estate on 4.3" Workpath Enabled printers they are not conducive to support Mailflow, however OneDrive, SharePoint Teams and Universal print including Pull print are acceptable.

We have introduced a License activation server to manage all license distribution.

Fixes

Sleep Mode: After waking up from sleep mode, some of the Applications would not launch and Process your Sign-in

V3 April 2025

Additional features added

You can now disable the Microsoft 2FA/MFA challenge when users sign in to the Console. This feature allows customers to register their Smart Cards/Badges or the HP Secure Authentication Mobile application using MFA/2FA. Once their Cards/Badges/QR codes are registered, users will not be challenged by the Microsoft Authenticator application during subsequent sign-ins.
This new option is ideal for sites that prefer not to use a mobile phone for Microsoft Authentication. Instead, they can use the HP Secure Authentication Mobile App (QRCode/BLE) or NFC/Smart Cards/Proximity cards to tap on compatible readers.
