Deploy 19.3.537.0 | Inventory 19.3.537.0

Changes/Improvements

PDQ Deploy & Inventory registration now requires both a license key and an email address. Providing your email address will not subscribe you to any new email recipient lists or promotions. 

PDQ Deploy and Inventory previously only required detailed contact information, including email, for primary admins and billing contacts.  

Similar to other PDQ products and IT tools, we’ve found that having an email address for each user allows us to better support and secure our products, and helps us better understand who is using our products. If someone is misusing the application, having an email address gives us an additional option for getting in touch with customers. 

For more information on proper usage of PDQ products, please visit our End User License Agreement (EULA) and Privacy Policy.
