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
