Combined licenses are only consumed by users that have been assigned to use combined licenses in the User Settings dialog box. When a user is assigned to use combined licenses, he or she will not be able to use a license for Workflow or WorkView that is not combined. If non-combined licenses are available for consumption, access to the modules are not granted until a combined license becomes available.
If a user that is assigned to use a combined license who is working on a workstation registered for the use of one of the two products licensed by the combined license, only the product registered will be available for use.
If there are no non-combined licenses licensed in the system, a combined license will be consumed even if the user is not assigned to use combined licenses.
To access the User Settings dialog box and configure a user for combined licensing:
- From the Configuration module, select Users | User Names/Passwords.
- Select the User Name and click Settings.
- Select the Combined Workflow / WorkView License check box.
- Click Save.
Once a combined license has been consumed, the license is not released until the Client is restarted. If a combined license is revoked, it will still be consumed until the Client is restarted. If the license is switched from a combined concurrent license to a concurrent license for one of the products, it will still consume the combined concurrent until the Client is restarted.
Check your current licensing status by selecting Utils | Product Licenses from the Configuration module.
