alfred5 What is the "v5 Corporate Powerpack"? 👀

[Chris Messina]

Spotted a mentioned of this in the Alfred 5.0.2 Pre-release release notes... has there always been a Corporate Powerpack available? If so, what does it offer over a conventional license?

[Vero]

@Chris Messina Yes, it's been around for a long time and is intended for companies who want to distribute a single-key license to their team. Many of the companies you're familiar with use that method to share the Alfred love with their team

 

All the details are here:

More specifically, the 5.0.2 update is the first Alfred 5.x that will be suitable for corporate licensing activation, as we roll this out a few weeks after the general 5.0 release, which ensures everything's nicely settled down by the time we distribute to these larger teams.

Got it — but there are no specific collaboration or internal Workflow sharing features associated with this offering? It's just a means to distribute a shared license?

[Andrew]

@Chris Messina Some of our larger corps use [private] git to manage a shared [version controlled] repository of workflows and snippets, which is automatically rolled out to all of the users. Alfred is perfectly happy to work in this environment, and it gives the managers full control over workflow changes.

 

I may do a blog post at some point to cover how this works, as it's simple and clever.

 

Cheers,

Got it — yes, a blog post on how teams are using Alfred private would be super useful!
