HID Credential Management System v6.0

Note: Starting with version 6.0, the program name is "HID Credential Management System" instead of "ActivID Credential Management System".

HID CMS 6.0 for Windows provides the following improvements to the previous version:

New CMS Operator Portal. The new portal offers a modern and user-friendly interface. The display automatically adapts to your screen type and allows you to easily perform all help desk tasks.

The legacy portals (user, configuration, and operator) remain accessible.
Multiple devices per user. CMS now offers the capability to issue and manage multiple active devices per user. There is no limitation in device type or policy. The devices can be cards or USB keys, and use the same, or different, device policies.

If the devices contain an encryption certificate, CMS will issue the same encryption certificate on multiple devices, to ensure a user can decrypt a document or email whatever device he uses to decrypt it.

Note: This capability is only available in the new CMS Operator Portal.
CMS REST API improvements: CMS 6.0 expands on the enhancements included in recent 5.x updates by adding modern APIs for additional use cases.
