Licensing<br />

Objectives - In this chapter we will discuss the various issues regarding SYSPRO 6.0<br />

licensing. We will examine the different components of the licensing model used, and<br />

discuss some of the ramifications of the model. We will then go through the procedures for<br />

installing, updating, importing, and apportioning the licenses.<br />

If you are already aware of the licensing structure that SYSPRO utilizes, please move onto<br />

the next chapter. This information is provided so that programmers will have a better<br />

understanding of e.<strong>net</strong> solutions.<br />

8.1. Introduction to SYSPRO Licensing<br />

8.1.1. Licensing Model<br />

The SYSPRO license is a yearly per seat usage license. This means that each installation<br />

of the SYSPRO system must be licensed, and that license must be updated on a yearly<br />

basis.<br />

8.1.1.1. SYSPRO licensing<br />

With the core SYSPRO products you license the modules that you have by the maximum<br />

number of users that you need to be able to log in at any one time. If you need to increase<br />

the number of users this has to be done for the all the modules that you have. If you want<br />

to add a new module, this has to be done for the number of users that you already have.<br />

8.1.1.2. e.<strong>net</strong> solutions licensing<br />

The idea of the e.<strong>net</strong> solutions licensing is that you "only pay for what you use". This<br />

means that e.<strong>net</strong> solutions license is highly configurable and requires you to know what<br />

e.<strong>net</strong> solutions components you will be using. The e.<strong>net</strong> solutions license needs to be<br />

apportioned within your system. We discuss this in Section 8.1.4, “Installing and<br />

Configuring License.xml” [8–7].<br />

8.1.1.3. Functional areas<br />

The SYSPRO business logic is provided in components. The SYSPRO modules are<br />

broken up in to smaller sections called functional areas, which contain the business<br />

objects. SYSPRO operators are licensed to use only the functional areas that they need, in<br />

the quantity required, in multiples of 10. For example, you could have 10 users of the
