Multiple license types

There are three types of multiple licenses:

  • Per named workstation enables you to install a software application on a given number of identified workstations. For example, a license for an office automation suite that can be installed on 1,000 workstations.
  • Per named user enables access to an application or database for a given number of users. For example, a license enabling access to a database for 500 named users.
  • Per concurrent accesses enables a specified number of concurrent accesses to a database. For example, a license enabling 1,000 concurrent users access to the database.

For each multiple license, Service Manager has a Rights field, which specifies the number of:

  • Workstations where you can install the software
  • Named users
  • Concurrent users

Software counters use these values to verify that your company has not exceeded the number of installations or concurrent users granted by a license.
