A license can (and usually will) define certain restrictions on the usage of the Application Server. These restrictions are enforced by the installed license code and the Application Server will restrict its functionality accordingly. Table 2 lists the restrictions that can be set by a license.
License restriction |
Description |
Allowed feature types Allowed feature count for each allowed feature type Allowed observation count for each allowed feature type |
These three restrictions define what feature types can be used, how many features of each of the allowed feature types can be created and how many observations can be created for features of the allowed types. See below for more information. |
Maximum number of domains |
The license can restrict the number of domains you are allowed to create. Note that the root domain which is always existing is part of the domain count. |
Maximum number of concurrent user sessions |
Maximum number of concurrent user sessions that can be established at the same point in time. See chapter on session expiration for details on how concurrent sessions are counted. |
Maximum number of job threads |
The license can restrict the maximum number of concurrently running jobs. |
Maximum number of users |
The license can restrict the maximum number of users you are allowed to create. |
Available export types |
Only those export types will be available that are explicitly granted in your license code. |
Available import types |
Only those import types will be available that are explicitly granted in your license code. |
Table 1: License related restrictions on the usage of the Application Server
The license may restrict the feature types you can use i.e. it may restrict the feature types you can use when creating new features. Additionally the license may restrict the number of features you can create for each feature type and the number of observations you can create within features of a specific type i.e. the sum of all observations of features of a given type.
If the license does not restrict the feature types you can use it may still restrict the total number of features and the total number of observations you can create.
If the license restricts the number of features and observations you can create this restriction is not checked on every creation of a new feature or observations but in regular intervals. I.e. it might be possible to create more than the number of allowed features or observations, but if the number of allowed features or observations is exceeded the creation of new feature or observations will be blocked at some point in time.
