| + | |||
| + | The number of the available licenses defines the number of users that can use the Produmex WMS add-on concurrently. If there are more users than the number of licenses, the principle of “first come, first served” is applied. | ||
| - | {{ :implementation:wms:license:9.active_licenses.png |License Configurator window}} | + | Each time a user starts the add-on, the system checks whether the user is an assigned user and whether there is a free license that can be allocated to the user: |

| + | It is required to run flows on the Fat Client (a scanner or a touchscreen). On the License Configurator screen this is called //DeviceUser//. | ||
| - | To assign users to the add-on license, first select the company on the top of the Assigned Names section. Then select the license type from the ‘Show available names for type’ dropdown menu. Under ‘Available’ every user available from the selected company is listed. Select the name and click on the left arrow icon to assign it to the selected license type. To retract a user, select its line from the Assignments list and click on the right arrow icon. | + | The terminal licenses are unassigned licenses. If the license must be assigned, it can be assigned to every Fat Client defined in the Organizational Structure of the company. The number of assigned clients is not limited. |

Instead the system allows as many concurrent connections as the total number of available licenses. |
| - | The sequence of the assigned users has no impact on license allocation. | + | Each time logging in on a client, the system checks whether there is a free license slot that can be allocated to the client. |
