In OnBase 17, licenses can be assigned to User Groups in OnBase from the License Settings window in the Configuration module. If concurrent licensing is available for a module, the number of those concurrent licenses assigned to each User Group can also be configured.
Before assigning licenses to User Groups, it is crucial to fully understand how this will affect license consumption in your system. For detailed User Group licensing considerations, see the topic titled License Settings for User Groups in the System Administration module reference guide.
When upgrading to OnBase 17 or later, all existing license assignments in the previous version are carried over to the upgraded version. However, in mixed environments in which multiple versions of OnBase exist (for example, during an incremental parallel upgrade), any manual changes made to a named-user license in a pre-17 version of OnBase Configuration will not be recognized in version 17 or later OnBase applications.
It is highly recommended to use the latest version of OnBase Configuration (17 or later) to make any manual changes to named-user license assignments. Additionally, if User Group-associated licensing is being used, a user must log into the latest version of OnBase(17 or later) to have the license dynamically assigned to that user.
