Working with the License Manager
The License Manager (Company Workspace tab > Admin mode > General Administration > License Manager) controls the number of active users (Standard Users, Portal Users, Collaborator Users, and Earned Value Management Users) allowed in the system based on agreed license terms.
Note: Standard Users refer to both Company and Partner users.
The license terms (that is, the number of allowed users) used for License Manager are maintained by the Site Administrator, and cannot be edited by the Company Administrator.
You can click the Settings icon to define the notification threshold for license terms and overage thresholds.
The Earned Value Management block in License Manager is seen only when the module is loaded. When licenses are provided for the Earned Value Management module, an additional Earned Value Management check box is available in the Edit User dialog for standard users. Select the check box to designate users as Earned Value Management module users, within license terms.
Your Company Administrator can access the License Manager to:
- View the current named users and user record limits.
- View the usage charts.
- Print usage reports.
Your Company Administrator can set up the License Manager to:
- Notify the Company Administrator (or other designated user) automatically when the number of users is approaching the limit.
- Allow for an overage (that is, a certain number of users that are over the limit, as determined by the terms of the license agreement).
If the number of users exceeds the number of available licenses, the system sends notifications to the following:
- Users specified in the configurator (Unifier Configurator WebLogic).
- Users who have Notify permission in the License Manager, which was set in Access Control.
The License Manager counts users with status of Active or On-Hold. The term "active named user" refers to any user in the system who has an Active or an On-hold status.
A user with the Inactive status is not counted against the license terms, and you can add/import any number of Inactive users.
