Concurrent Licenses

Go Up to Control License Usage

Concurrent licenses are a pool of licenses that can be shared by users on a first-come, first-serve basis. A concurrent license can be borrowed from the license pool and when the user quits the application, the license is returned to the shared pool and made available for another user to use.

Assigning Concurrent Licenses to Users

This procedure helps you define which users can or cannot use the concurrent licenses.

1. From the MANAGE LICENSES menu, select License Assignments.
2. In the Concurrent area, click Permissions and then on the Concurrent Users pane, click Add Entry.
3. In the Machine Name field, enter the name of the system running AppWave Browser to which you want to assign a license.
4. To authorize users or groups to use specific licenses, in the Permissions area, click Allow which is the option that comes by default.
5. To enable the user to use the license while not connected to the AppWave network, from the Offline usage list, select the maximum number of days and hours the user can use the license offline. When this time expires, the user will not be able to use the application until reconnected to the network from the AppWave Browser and the application is checked out again. In some applications, such as ER/Studio Data Architect, there is an option in the user interface to check out a license, Help > Checkout License / Checkin License.

   Note: The maximum checkout period for an application is 30 days and 23 hours.

6. To select all licenses the users and groups can or cannot use, leave the licenses selected set to ANY , which is the default setting.
