Managing Seat Licenses

enaio® 11.0

Seat license keys are linked to a specific workstation. Use enaio® enterprise-manager to integrate workstations in the license system and assign module-specific license keys to them.

Set up the 'Standard' station in order that, when installing local components required for a computer, any new computer will be entered as a workstation and will be provided with all seat license keys that are assigned to the 'Standard' station, as long as license keys are available. In addition, all available seat license keys of the 'Standard' station are assigned to each computer that accesses enaio® and is entered in the workstation list.

The automatic transfer of the seat licenses of the 'Default' workstation needs to be activated via a registry entry: enaio® enterprise-manager > Server > Settings > Registry entries > DefaultOnLogin: value: 1

The workstation's IP address or GUID is required to add a workstation in enaio® enterprise-manager. The IP addresses can be detected using enaio® enterprise-manager once the workstations are available in and connected to the network.

You are allowed to either use only GUIDs or only IP addresses to integrate all workstations.

Every computer, from which a user accesses enaio® using enaio® client or another enaio® component, will be listed automatically as a workstation.

The changes will be saved.

The selected module license key will be assigned to the station and displayed in the Modules area.

You can print out a module report via the context menu of a module or several modules. In addition to the information shown in the view, server data is also printed out.

Layer administration is licensed in the 'ADI' module. If you use this module, a license key must be available on every workstation.

If you assign a seat license key to the 'Standard' station, this license key will automatically be assigned to each station that is integrated or that logs in, provided that seat licenses are available.

Seat licenses that are assigned components that check licenses via the 'license' service must be assigned to the station on which enaio® service-manager is running with the 'license' service.
