Siebel Anywhere Subscribers

A Siebel Anywhere subscriber is a Siebel client or a Siebel Server that belongs to an active configuration. It can be a laptop computer, a desktop computer, or a Regional Node Server. A Siebel Anywhere subscriber belongs to one upgrade configuration. Types of subscribers include the following:

• Mobile Web Clients of Siebel Business Applications such as Siebel Sales, Siebel Partner Manager, Siebel Field Service, or Siebel Call Center

• Developer Web Clients of these applications

• Siebel Servers operating against regional databases (referred to as Regional Node Servers)

For more information about viewing the employees that are dynamically associated with Siebel Anywhere configurations, see Identifying Configurations to Deliver Upgrade Components.

Caution: It is strongly recommended that you run only the Siebel Web Client (the client type that does not require a Siebel installer) for user accounts that have Siebel administrator responsibilities, to make sure that administrative tasks are performed while connected to the HQ Server, and to make sure that the administrator is not prevented from logging in for reasons related to component versions. If you run the Siebel Developer Web Client for any administrator account, then it is strongly recommended that the account not be associated with a Siebel Anywhere configuration. This precaution also helps prevent version-related login problems.
