Prior to OnBase Foundation EP5, OnBase primarily supported a conventional licensing model that consisted of individual licenses for each module in the OnBase product suite. While these legacy licenses could be bundled in certain situations, they still had to be activated within the OnBase database individually.
Beginning in OnBase Foundation EP5, OnBase supports a simplified licensing model that automatically bundles legacy product licenses into base packages of related functionalities. This simplified licensing model largely eliminates the need to activate dozens of individual licenses manually and still supports the same functionalities. In supporting these same functionalities, the simplified model also links them together in logical groups to better meet your organization's business needs.
In OnBase Foundation 23.1, the base packages of related functionalities are available through the following database licenses:
|
Simplified License (Base Package) |
Functionalities Included |
|---|---|
|
Essential User |
|
|
Standard User |
|
|
Premier User |
|
Each base package's simplified license is a named user license that a system administrator must assign to the appropriate users or User Groups in the OnBase Configuration module to give them access to the functionalities included with that license. For more information on configuring license settings for users and User Groups, see the System Administration documentation.
Each base package license is consumed when the user begins their session, and the user can make up to 10 simultaneous connections through multiple clients or devices. To bypass this per-user limit, you can request the Emergency Access Client add-on license, which logs any overages for later auditing.
In addition to the base packages, the simplified licensing model includes optional add-on packages for accessing additional functionalities. However, unlike the base packages, the add-on packages do not replace any existing licenses with new database licenses. The add-on packages simply group individual licenses for related functionalities together.
