Collaborative Industry Innovator License
All users require a license for Collaborative Industry Innovator to log into a 3DEXPERIENCE platform. This license provides a user with minimal access to content used within the apps
so they can access content. For example, a person may need to read specifications
for parts from Engineering BOM Management, but they do not need to create, delete, or otherwise act on that content. Other
people may need to approve documents or other objects. The user's guide for each app
lists the tasks for various access roles within that app.
If someone needs to perform these tasks, you need to assign an access role and
license for that app
to that person.
Users cannot concurrently log into the same 3DSpace Service instance from different machines. A server instance refers to a logical server
that could consist of multiple web app
servers connected to a single database. Users can, however, log into the same server
instance multiple times from the same computer to allow multiple browser windows
open on a computer. Users can also log into two different server instances from the
same or different computers. For example, a user could log into a production
environment server and a test environment server from the same computer.
Access Roles and Licenses
Users who are assigned access roles in more than one app
require a license for each app.
When a user logs in, the user consumes a license for all apps
for which they are assigned a license. If a user cannot login because a license for
a particular app
is not available (the licenses for that app
are over-allocated), the user is denied access to all apps.
For
a person to log in and work with an app
(beyond the basic access granted by the license required to access the platform),
that person needs:
- An app role (see the user's guide for each app for a list and description of roles)
- A license for that app
Casual and Unlimited Licenses
Your company typically has some employees who use the 3DEXPERIENCE platform to perform much of their work. You can assign full licenses to these users. An
unlimited license allows them full access to the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. You probably also have many employees who only need to use the 3DEXPERIENCE platform occasionally, to download documents or approve items, for example. You can assign
casual licenses to these users. A casual license allows them 40 hours of access to
the 3DEXPERIENCE platform per month. The home page displays a message when users log in when they near
their limit for the month.
A user is either an unlimited or casual user. You cannot mix types of licenses for a
user. For example, you cannot assign 2 apps
with unlimited licenses and 3 apps
with casual licenses to the same user.
Consumed Licenses
When you assign a license to a user, that license is not actually consumed, or used
up, until that user logs into the 3DEXPERIENCE platform. When you inactivate a user in the 3DEXPERIENCE platform, you can also choose to remove the license from that user, or allow the user to
retain it if you anticipate they may be reactivated.
Once a license is consumed by a user, it is consumed for a minimum of 30 days and
cannot be reassigned to another user within that period.
Over Allocated Licenses
You can allocate more licenses than you have available. For example, you may see that
of 1000 licenses you purchased and allocated, only 500 have been consumed. In this
case, if you have a request for a license, you can assign it to that user without
consuming all of your licenses.
Also, you can
purchase additional licenses and apply them to the server (see the Dassault
Systemes Licensing Essentials Guide), and eliminate the deficit in
licenses.
