2 Assets and Brand portal are accessed through the same URL. When logging in, users with a Basic license will be directed to the Brand portal while users with a Standard or Pro license will be directed to Assets. Users with a Standard or Pro license can access the Brand portal through Assets.
3 Although it is technically possible to use an API to mimic the behavior of a client application, it is not allowed to mask clients. APIs and API licenses are only allowed to be used to automate tasks.
Logging in using a Basic, Standard, or Pro license
A user with a Basic, Standard or Pro license can be logged in to multiple, different clients simultaneously. These clients could be the standard clients (Assets, Brand portal, or Assets for InDesign), or a custom API client (subject to the license restrictions, see table above).
However, users cannot be simultaneously logged in to multiple clients of the same type (for example: logged in to Assets in two different Web browsers).
When a user logs in to a custom API using a Basic, Standard, or Pro license, the restrictions of the Basic, Standard, or Pro license apply.
Controlling access to product features
Apart from the differences in access to product features that each license brings as described earlier, additional (and more granular) access to features and assets is defined when setting up users and user groups.
Managing licenses
Managing licenses is done in the Management Console.

Hi Aliah,
Thank you for your message.
We have removed the mobile app from the iOS and Google Play stores.
The app had not been updated for years, but more importantly, we will be releasing a mobile-friendly version of our DAM product (web-based) in the near future.
Best regards Jouke
