ENOVIAVPM Version 1 up to and including Release 4 was available only with named user licensing.
To provide customers with additional purchasing and licensing flexibility, ENOVIAVPM Version 1 Release 5 introduced concurrent user licensed, role-based configurations (Engineer, Manager, etc.).
These configurations continue to be used in the same way in ENOVIAVPM Version 1 Release 6.
ENOVIAVPM utilizes a People & Organization (P&O) database to define and manage these configurations and the individual usage profiles available to users. At sign-on, ENOVIAVPM looks identical to end users whether a customer continues to use named user licensing or moves on to the new concurrent user licensing method. Licenses for configurations defined in usage profiles will be taken at sign-on and released when the user session is discontinued.
Named user licensing requires one role-based configuration to be available for each corresponding user defined in the P&O database. Concurrent user licensing requires customers to have sufficient quantities of each role-based configuration available for concurrently signed-on users of that configuration.
When an ENOVIAVPM Version 1 Release 6 user first calls CATIA Version 4 for design in context, the CATIA Version 4 plug-in is called which takes one each of CATIA CDA, CDR, and COM licenses. Similarly, CATIA COM licenses are also taken if one of the following operations is attempted:
Note: If ENOVIAVPM is used to manage CATIA Version 5 data only, there is no requirement to install CATIA Version 4 products or licenses.
When an ENOVIAVPM Version 1 Release 6 user calls ENOVIAPM for any of the
interoperability functions, an ENOVIAPM Software Development Kit (SDK) Author
license is requested.
If the SDK license is not available, an ENOVIAPM Director
license is requested.
When using ENOVIAVPM in a multi-user environment with IBM LUM, IBM LUM Runtime code version 4.5.5 is the minimum level required on AIX, HP-UX, and Sun license servers and clients. IBM LUM for AIX is delivered as a standard component of AIX. For HP and Sun platforms, you can download LUM Runtime Version 4.5.5 or later from the following IBM Internet site:
http://www.ibm.com/software/lum
IBM LUM is available to licensed ENOVIAVPM users whose installations include multiple IBM, HP or Sun workstation machines that are interconnected by a TCP/IP-supported token ring or Ethernet local area network or for concurrent execution of ENOVIAVPM programs on a single workstation.
ENOVIAVPM for UNIX workstations uses LUM to control the number of licenses acquired for the program. Using LUM administration facilities, system administrators can configure ENOVIAVPM products for workstations to permit access to ENOVIAVPM programs on one of the several workstation platforms provided.
In an installation without IBM LUM, ENOVIAVPM Solutions for workstations licensed programs can be licensed to operate on a single workstation. In this mode of operation, ENOVIAVPM program use is restricted to the workstation for which it is registered during the installation process. In any configuration, either stand-alone or LAN when more than one use of an ENOVIAVPM licensed program is desired on a single workstation, IBM LUM is required.
