Trivia about concurrent licensing

Submitted by: Andy W Esslinger Last Updated: 2006-09-15

The Document Architect license is only available as concurrent. You can install it just like a fixed license and use it only on one machine, but it is still a concurrent license.

The concurrent licenses for Epic are more than 4 times the cost of fixed licenses for the same feature and the annual maintenance is higher. Since fixed licenses are cheaper a dedicated user should have a fixed license. Concurrent only saves money if you have four (or more) part-time users for each license.

A PC can be a license server for both PCs and Solaris machines (or vice versa) as long as the machines can see each other over the network.

If you have redundant license servers more than half of them must be up an running or no licenses will be available.
