Licensing<br />

As well as all the normal defaults and restrictions, such as default company ID, warehouse<br />

and restricted access to inventory costs, etc., there are also e.<strong>net</strong> solutions specific defaults<br />

and restrictions on the "e.<strong>net</strong> tab" of the operator maintenance. As a named user operator is<br />

designed for only one user you can use it to specify these defaults and restrictions such as<br />

restricting which customers this operator can access.<br />

When a named user successfully logs on to e.<strong>net</strong> solutions they are allocated a 33 character<br />

UseId which is placed in the COMSTATE file along with their state information. Each<br />

time that this user uses a business object, a timestamp is updated against this UserID in the<br />

COMSTATE file. When a named user logs off of e.<strong>net</strong> solutions their UserID and<br />

matching state information is removed from the COMSTATE file.<br />

Only one user can logon to e.<strong>net</strong> solutions using this operator code at a time. If a second<br />

logon is attempted it is assumed that the previous UserID is no longer in use, and is<br />

removed from the COMSTATE file when this new entry is added (unless the following<br />

XML entry is supplied during the logon process, in which case the second user will be<br />

prevented from logging on.)<br />

Note that this functionality is only available from SYSPRO 6.0 issue 010<br />

<br />

The UserID that has been removed can no longer be used.<br />

8.1.3. Concurrency Issues<br />

The core SYSPRO product is licensed on a concurrency basis. If you have a license for 16<br />

users, only 16 can logon to SYSPRO at any one time. It doesn't matter which operator<br />

code is using which part of SYSPRO, a total of 16 users can logon. If you want to buy an<br />

additional module you have to buy it for 16 users. If you want to upgrade from 16 to 20<br />

users you have to do so for all modules that you have.<br />

As we have seen, the e.<strong>net</strong> solutions business objects are grouped together in licensable<br />

chunks called functional areas. As we have seen, there are two types of functional areas,<br />
