Nuance PDF Template
This template creates a configuration that checks if the remote device is licensed for Nuance PDF. It can be found in theLICENSE COMPLIANCE category when filtered forREMOTE platform.
If the remote device is not licensed for Nuance PDF, you can choose between two actions:
- Hides Nuance PDF from the session with FSLogix App Masking if the remote device is not licensed.
- Denies Nuance PDF within the session with Microsoft AppLocker if the remote device is not licensed.
