License types

There are two types of license: login license (named or floating, which just controls the initial login), and the application license for individual module access.

License type	Description
Login license	Controls the initial login: Floating: Users are not on the Named user list for the application and they have update capabilities. Named: Users are on the Named user list for the application and they have update capabilities.
Application license	Controls individual module access. Logging in as any user with update capacity for an application consumes a license for that application. Update capacity includes permission to add, update, or delete any record associated with the application.

License type

Description

Controls the initial login:

Floating: Users are not on the Named user list for the application and they have update capabilities.
Named: Users are on the Named user list for the application and they have update capabilities.

Application license

Controls individual module access.

Logging in as any user with update capacity for an application consumes a license for that application. Update capacity includes permission to add, update, or delete any record associated with the application.

Login licenses are tightly controlled so that the product will not allow you to log in if you exceed your login licenses. Application licenses are lightly controlled, and you can exceed the licenses with only a warning message.

If the Named Application field in the operator record is empty and the operator logging in is a Named user, the user will consume one named login license and floating licenses for application license. If the Named Application field in the operator record is only filled with, for example, Incident Management, the same user will consume one named login license, one floating license for each other application/module, and one named license for the Incident Management application/module. In other words, by default the Application Licenses are floating licenses regardless of whether the operator is a named or floating user.

Login licensing has been separated from Module licensing to provide more flexibility. It is possible to change the default behavior to ensure the Named user consumes a Named license, instead of a Floating license for the Modules. To do so, follow these steps:

Open the Operator record.
Click the Login Profiles tab, add the Modules required for the Named user in the Named Applications field.
